Un apropiat al lui Maduro pledează vinovat de spălare de bani în fața unei instanțe americane

Alex Saab, a key figure in Venezuela's power under Nicolás Maduro, pleaded guilty to money laundering in a U.S. court after agreeing to cooperate with investigators. This change from his previous not guilty plea could potentially impact Maduro negatively. Saab, who was deported to the U.S. in May, was previously arrested in 2020 and extradited in 2021 for misappropriating food aid and money laundering. He was considered a crucial intermediary for the Maduro regime amid international sanctions. Following his guilty plea, Saab faces up to 20 years in prison.
