Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, leader of Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), has formally filed a complaint with Mexico's Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) accusing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro of alleged ties to organized crime and Mexican drug cartels. The U.S. Department of Justice has seized over $700 million in assets linked to Maduro's regime, with the U.S. Attorney General describing the situation as organized crime comparable to the mafia. In response to these allegations, Venezuelan officials, including President Maduro and National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez, have condemned the accusations, claiming foreign interference financed by Colombian narcotraffickers and the Albanian mafia in Ecuador. Opposition figures such as María Corina Machado have called for international democratic nations to unite in defending Venezuela's freedom and to apply international law to dismantle criminal structures causing suffering in the country. Machado also expressed gratitude toward former U.S. President Donald Trump for his actions against Maduro. Meanwhile, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez criticized Machado with harsh rhetoric. U.S. Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar labeled Maduro and Diosdado Cabello as enemies of freedom with no possibility of negotiation, advocating for justice.
