The U.S. Department of Justice has confiscated more than $700 million in assets allegedly linked to Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a televised interview. The haul includes two multimillion-dollar jets, several luxury residences in Florida and the Dominican Republic, a horse farm, nine high-end vehicles, and millions of dollars in jewelry and cash. Bondi described the operation as a strike against “organized crime, no different from the mafia,” and added that the investigation into Maduro’s financial network is continuing. The seizure follows the U.S. decision on 7 August to double the reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest to $50 million, underscoring Washington’s effort to tighten pressure on the Caracas government it no longer recognizes as legitimate.
