A U.S.-based attorney has registered to represent Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodríguez on legal matters and policy engagement with U.S. officials, according to a foreign agent registration filing submitted to the Justice Department on April 14 and reported by FARA Monitor, a registration database.
The filing states that Jihad M. Smaili, a California-based lawyer, will provide legal representation related to ongoing and future disputes, including matters tied to PDVSA and Citgo, as well as creditor claims linked to FARC-related cases.
