In a significant development, the United States has announced a heightened reward of $25 million for information that leads to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, coinciding with his swearing-in for a controversial third six-year term.
The inauguration has faced intense criticism from both the international community and opposition leaders within Venezuela, underscoring the contentious political climate.
Additionally, rewards have been established for information on other high-ranking officials, including up to $15 million for Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino and similar offers for Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello.
In response to these events, the UK has enacted sanctions against 15 prominent Venezuelan officials—including judges and military personnel—citing their roles in undermining democracy and committing human rights abuses.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy characterized Maduro’s regime as “fraudulent,” highlighting the ongoing global concern over the political situation in Venezuela.
