US Prosecutors Charge Venezuelan President Maduro With Drug Trafficking

U.S. federal prosecutors have unsealed charges against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and other officials, alleging they facilitated cocaine trafficking for Mexican cartels. The indictment claims Maduro and top officials used Venezuela's military and ports to aid groups like the Sinaloa Cartel and Zetas, with shipments reportedly ranging from 5 to 20 tonnes of cocaine. Prosecutors allege the government provided diplomatic passports and facilitated private flights, while Maduro's son oversaw shipments on the presidential aircraft and his wife allegedly accepted bribes.
