A year after unexpectedly resigning amid a corruption scandal inside the state-run oil industry and subsequently disappearing from public sight, former Venezuelan oil minister Tareck El Aissami was arrested on Tuesday.
The country's Ministry of Communications released images of El Aissami being handcuffed while Attorney General Tarek William Saab confirmed to reporters that he will make his first court appearance on Tuesday on charges that include treason, money laundering and criminal association.
