"Brown eyes, black hair, standing at 62. Nicolas Maduro's face appears in the foreground beneath eight large red numbers. This is the sum of money U.S. authorities are willing to pay for information leading to his arrest: $50 million (almost 43 million). However, the reward poster, published in early August, does not mention a single line about Maduro's political career."
"Instead, Maduro is wanted for allegedy beingaccording to the White House the leader of the Cartel de los Soles (Cartel of the Suns), a narco-terrorism network that presumably reaches all the way to the very top of the Chavista regime and connects it with the most powerful criminal forces in Mexico and Colombia. If you're looking for a mobster, look elsewhere, the Venezuelan leader responded in an explosive press conference last Monday."
Nicolas Maduro faces a $50 million U.S. reward for information leading to his arrest, with a poster that omits references to his political career. U.S. authorities accuse him of leading the Cartel de los Soles, described as a narco-terrorism network linking the Chavista regime to powerful criminal forces in Mexico and Colombia. Maduro denied being a mobster and warned of declaring armed struggle if Venezuela suffered aggression. A U.S. operation allegedly struck a Venezuelan drug boat in Caribbean waters, killing eleven people. The Maduro government claimed the operation's video was likely generated with artificial intelligence. The Cartel of the Suns label dates to 1993 and now denotes alleged Chavismo links to organized crime.
