US Offers $50 Million Reward for Nicolás Maduro's Arrest

The US Justice Department doubled its reward to $50 million citing Maduro's role in drug trafficking linked to cocaine seizures and ties with violent criminal gangs.

  • On August 7, 2025, U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced the DOJ and State Department are offering a $50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
  • Having been accused of narco-terrorism, Maduro remains in power as the U.S. announced a $50 million reward recently, Bondi said.
  • Since investigations intensified, the DOJ and DEA seized 30 tons of cocaine, with nearly seven tons linked directly to Maduro, Bondi said.
  • Following the announcement, U.S. officials said the reward aims to elicit actionable intelligence from individuals with direct knowledge of Maduro’s operations.
  • Amid ongoing pressure on the Venezuelan regime, the initiative underscores efforts to target corruption and human rights abuses as Maduro remains in power despite sanctions and U.S. indictments.
