Venezuela President Maduro charged in US drug trafficking inquiry
Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro was charged with federal drug trafficking crimes as part of a far reaching U.S. investigation stretching from New York to Florida, officials said Thursday.
Maduro's government, authorities said,"betrayed the Venezuelan people to line their pockets with drug money." The four-count indictment against Maduro was unsealed in New York and also named Diosdado Cabello Rondón, head of Venezuela’s National Constituent Assembly; Hugo Armando Carvajal Barrios, former director of military intelligence; and Clíver Antonio Alcalá Cordones, a former general in the Venezuelan armed forces.
"The Maduro regime was propped up by a sham judiciary and a corrupt military," Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski said, adding that the defense minister authorized regular and enormous shipments of cocaine destined for the U.S.
