The Trump administration has accused Nicolás Ernesto Maduro Guerra, the only biological son of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, of maintaining ties to Colombian armed groups involved in drug trafficking, according to an indictment reviewed by outlet NTN24.
U.S. authorities allege that Maduro Guerra had a meeting in 2020 in Medellín, Colombia, with representatives of dissident factions of the former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) to negotiate the transport of cocaine and weapons through Colombia and into the United States. The accusations are contained in a filing by the U.S. Department of Justice that forms part of broader actions against figures linked to the Venezuelan government.
