On Monday, the Biden administration seized an aircraft used by Nicolás Maduro, as part of an ongoing plan of applying pressure to the Venezuelan president to respect human rights, release political prisoners and, ultimately, let go of his stronghold on the South American country after his self-acclaimed July 28 election victory which has been questioned by a vast majority of countries.
The seized aircraft, a Dassault Falcon 900EX, is valued at approximately $13 million and is one of the most luxurious corporate jets in the world. The Falcon 900EX is an improved version of the Falcon 900 (commonly known as the F900), a French-built corporate trijet aircraft made by Dassault Aviation.
