US Seizes Maduro’s Plane in Dominican Republic for Sanctions Violations | Firstpost America
The United States has seized an aircraft linked to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in the Dominican Republic, escalating tensions between the two countries. The Dassault Falcon 900EX, often used by Maduro for international travel, was taken due to violations of US sanctions and suspicion of money laundering and fraud. The plane, purchased illegally from a Florida company, represents a significant target in the US effort to pressure Maduro’s government. The Venezuelan administration has condemned the seizure as an act of “piracy,” while US officials maintain it underscores their commitment to combating corruption and illegal activities by Maduro’s regime.
