Maduro Ally Charged in Venezuela Bribery Case After Deportation to US The extradition and subsequent charges against Alex Saab, a close ally of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, have shed light on the complex web of corruption that has plagued the country for years.
While Saab's deportation may seem like a victory for those seeking accountability in Venezuela, it also raises questions about the selective nature of justice and the motivations behind this development.
Saab was charged with involvement in a decade long conspiracy to create fake companies, falsify shipping records, and skim from government contracts.
