What This Bill Would Do
This bill would authorize a reward of up to $100 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro Moros. The funds for this reward would be sourced exclusively from seized assets belonging to Maduro, his regime officials, and their co-conspirators.
If enacted, this legislation would create a significant financial incentive for individuals to provide information leading to the capture of a foreign head of state, while establishing a specific mechanism to fund such rewards using assets already frozen by the U.S. government.
- Nicolas Maduro Moros has been the President of Venezuela since 2013, and his administration has faced extensive international sanctions and criminal indictments from the U.S. Department of Justice related to drug trafficking. context
