The U.S. Department of Justice has seized over $700 million in assets linked to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who is accused by the U.S. government of leading the Cartel de los Soles, a designated terrorist organization involved in drug trafficking. The confiscated assets include two multi-million-dollar jets, mansions, luxury homes in Florida, vehicles, jewelry, and cash. The bounty on Maduro's head has been increased to $50 million. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi described Maduro's regime as organized crime comparable to the mafia and stated that Maduro must be brought to justice in the United States. Bondi also accused Maduro's government of financing drug trafficking routes through Central America, including Guatemala. The U.S. administration under President Donald Trump has implicated other Venezuelan officials such as Diosdado Cabello and Vladimir Padrino López as part of the cartel. Maduro's allies have dismissed the U.S. accusations. This action represents a continuation of U.S. efforts to target Maduro's regime amid ongoing allegations of narcotics trafficking and corruption.
