The United States imposes new sanctions related to Venezuela

"Today, as part of the Trump administration's crack down [sic] on international drug trafficking organizations, Treasury has sanctioned key affiliates of the terrorist cartel Tren de Aragua, the message reads, adding that among those affected by these sanctions is the entertainer Rosita, who is described as a DJ, actress, and a model with millions of social media followers. She is included in a group of people allegedly involved in holding drug-fueled parties to benefit the Venezuelan-based criminal organization."

"Washington accuses Jimena Romina Araya Navarro (alias Rosita) of being part of a network of five persons affiliated with the entertainment industry that have provided material support to Tren de Aragua. She allegedly helped the notorious head of the organization, Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores (also known as Nino Guerrero), escape from Tocoron prison in Venezuela in 2012. According to the Treasury's press release, other members of this network also laundered money for the leaders of the Tren de Aragua."
