Justice Department Reportedly Preparing Criminal Indictment Against Venezuela's Interim Leader Delcy Rodriguez
The DOJ is drafting charges against Delcy Rodríguez for corruption and money laundering linked to narcoterrorism, involving Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles and FARC, sources said.
- The Department of Justice has drafted a criminal indictment against Delcy Rodriguez, Venezuela's interim president, alleging corruption and money laundering as of Monday.
- U.S. investigators say the probe focuses on alleged laundering of PDVSA funds between 2021 and 2025 and Rodriguez's role in a narcoterrorism conspiracy with Cartel de los Soles and FARC.
- The U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami has been assembling a draft indictment that has evolved over two months, but Reuters has not seen the charges and a grand jury may not review it.
- U.S. officials presented Delcy Rodriguez with a list of at least seven former senior Chavista officials for potential extradition and warned she faces prosecution if she fails to comply.
- With U.S. oil access at stake, Rodriguez has cultivated close ties with the Trump administration while opening Venezuela to U.S. oil companies and releasing political prisoners.
