The United States has increased the amount of money it will provide for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro.
It said it would award $25 million to for information leading to Maduro’s arrest. It made the announcement on the day the dictator was sworn in for his third term in office.
The charges date back to 2020, when the US accused Maduro of engaging in “narco-terrorism”.
Award money has also been offered for information on other high-ranking Venezuelan officials.
The US is not the only country to sanction Venezuela, with the UK, EU, and Canada all imposing restrictions on the country or high-level officials.
Maduro won a presidential election last year, which most observers believe was significantly flawed.
