The businessman Alex Saab lost almost 10 million dollars of his fortune as part of his cooperation agreement with the United Stateswhich included several meetings with US law enforcement in his native Colombia and elsewhere.

• US Attorney’s Office asks to dismiss 7 of the 8 money laundering charges against Álex Saab
• The United States offers US$10 million per partner of the supposed biggest figurehead of Maduro

Two months later, he was indicted in Miami federal court on charges of siphoning off millions from state contracts to build affordable housing for Venezuela’s socialist government.

The Maduro regime considers him a diplomat who was kidnapped while on a humanitarian mission made more urgent by US sanctions.
