Venezuelan President Maduro's Ally Saab Faces Corruption Charges After US Deportation
Share:
Alex Saab, a close ally of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, appeared in a US court on corruption charges following his deportation from Venezuela over the weekend. Acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez ordered Saab's deportation to the United States, where he now faces legal proceedings. The charges against Saab were initially filed during Donald Trump's first presidential term, though he had previously avoided prosecution while remaining in Venezuela under Maduro's protection.
