Alex Saab, a top Maduro ally, was arrested in Caracas in a U.S.-Venezuela operation and may be extradited to the U.S.
Alex Saab, a former Venezuelan industry minister and close ally of Nicolás Maduro, was reportedly arrested in Caracas in a joint U.S.-Venezuelan operation, according to a U.S. law enforcement official.
The arrest, which occurred amid shifting leadership under interim President Delcy Rodríguez, follows Saab’s 2023 release from U.S. custody after a presidential pardon and dismissal of corruption charges tied to a $350 million scheme.
He is expected to be extradited, though Venezuelan authorities and his lawyer deny the arrest.
Also reportedly detained was Raul Gorrin, head of Globovision.
The U.S. and Venezuela are said to be cooperating on legal matters, marking a potential shift in relations.
