Summary
A U.S. federal judge sentenced former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to pay $314 million to three former American hostages. The sentence, handed down in a Florida court of law, stems from an action by Jerrel Kenemore, Jason Saad and Edgar Marval, who were released in 2023 as part of a prisoner exchange during Joe Biden's government. On that occasion, the United States released Colombian businessman Alex Saab, pointed out as Maduro's iron forehead, who was subsequently arrested again in Miami on charges of money laundering.
In January, an American military operation in Caracas resulted in the capture of Maduro and his wife, Clia Flores, to answer charges of narcoterrorism in U.S. federal justice. Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, was also denounced, but her lawyers argued that she has immunity as head of state recognized by the US, and the case against her was dismissed in April.
