A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) report alleges that Nicolás Maduro helped Iran move funds through Venezuela using a network designed to evade international sanctions, while also expanding military and logistical cooperation between the two governments.
According to the report, reviewed by Infobae, the Iran-Venezuela alliance enabled Tehran to bypass sanctions through "an opaque financial architecture" involving binational funds, trust accounts and correspondent banks in jurisdictions including Uruguay, Panama, Dubai and Hong Kong.
