Colombia - August 25, 2021 Video: After Nicolás Maduro took office on January 10, 2025, the United States Department of State raised the reward for information leading to his capture to 25 million dollars; this, after a reward of US 15 million was already pending for the tyrant, who had already been covered with charges since 2020 for allegedly having engaged in narcoterrorism and corruption. And according to investigations by the United States Attorney's Office and the Attorney General's Office of the Southern District of New York, Maduro would be linked to illicit activities related to drug trafficking, as well as to alleged collaboration with criminal structures such as the Cartel de Los Soles and the extinct Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). According to the report from the American justice system, Maduro would have led the Cartel de Los Soles, a criminal organization that would have operated for more than two decades in association with the FARC, which became one of the most feared criminal structures in the national territory. Apparently, this alliance would have facilitated the shipment of large quantities of cocaine to the United States in exchange for military weapons. In fact, as stated in the following document, federal prosecutor Geoffrey S. Berman had pointed out in 2020 that this relationship constituted a “narcoterrorism association” that sought to flood the US market with drugs while enriching its members.
