The reward offered by the United States for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has been increased to $50 million. This decision was announced by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who accused Maduro of ties to significant drug trafficking operations, including the Tren de Aragua and the Sinaloa cartel. For over a decade, Maduro has been implicated as a leader of the Cartel of the Suns, and the DEA has linked him to the seizure of substantial amounts of cocaine. The Biden administration previously raised the reward amount due to election fraud allegations in 2024.
