$100 Million Reward for Information Leading to Nicolás Maduro's Arrest.
This bill dramatically increases the maximum reward offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro to $100 million. Crucially, the reward money will be paid exclusively from assets seized from Maduro and his associates, who face charges including narco-terrorism and cocaine importation conspiracy. This measure aims to maximize incentives for cooperation to bring him to justice for crimes affecting U.S. security.
Key points
The maximum reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Nicolás Maduro is raised to $100,000,000.
The reward funds will be sourced entirely from the liquidation of assets seized from the Maduro regime and its co-conspirators under existing sanctions.
The legislation is based on 2020 charges against Maduro, including narco-terrorism and conspiring to import cocaine into the U.S.
