Reward for capture of Venezuela's Maduro increased to $25 million
.
There's been a rise in the pursuit of Venezuelan President Maduro, 62, who's been under indictment in the U.S. since 2020 for allegedly being involved in drug trafficking and narco-terrorism activities.
The person faces federal charges including the trafficking of cocaine and other crimes related to firearms.
A Venezuelan crime syndicate comprised of top government officials.
Nicholas Maduro allegedly coordinated shipments of multi-ton cocaine consignments with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which is a designated terrorist organization.
According to U.S. officials, Maduro instructed the cartel to provide military-level weaponry to the FARC and also sought their assistance in setting up an unauthorized militia that essentially served as a militant branch of the cartel.
The State Department provided a $15 million incentive for the capture of Maduro in 2020.
The upgrade in penalty to $25 million reflects the severity of his crimes and the ongoing threat he poses to global stability, an official stated.
Declared by nations other than the U.S. and went unrecognized globally.
Outside the U.S., individuals with information about Maduro are asked to reach out to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. In the U.S., information can be shared with the local DEA office.
