Скачать или смотреть US to pursue drug trafficking case against detained Venezuelan president and wife

The detained Venezuelan president was arrested as part of a US operation, a move that has now led Washington to formally pursue a narcotics case against him and his wife. The development marks a sharp escalation in the already tense relationship between the United States and Venezuela.

According to US authorities, the operation targeted alleged links between senior Venezuelan leadership figures and international drug trafficking networks. American prosecutors have long accused elements within Venezuela’s power structure of involvement in narcotics smuggling aimed at global markets, including the United States. The case moving forward is being framed as a major legal step with serious political and diplomatic implications.

Venezuela has repeatedly denied such allegations in the past, describing them as politically driven and part of sustained pressure by Washington. The latest move is expected to deepen the standoff between the two countries and may also affect broader regional dynamics in Latin America.

Further details are expected as legal proceedings advance and official charges are presented.
