Miami, FL — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after Attorney General William Barr, U.S. Attorney Ariana Fajardo Orshan of the Southern District of Florida, U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman of the Southern District of New York, and Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division formally indicted Venezuelan narco-dictator Nicolás Maduro and members of his inner circle for crimes ranging from money laundering and corruption to conspiring with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)–a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization– to transport cocaine into the United States and American communities:
“For far too long, Maduro’s criminal enterprise has illegally enriched itself through corruption, drug trade, and terrorism. Today’s indictment against Nicolás Maduro and senior members of his regime is an unprecedented step to hold accountable many thugs who have turned a once democratic nation into a narco-state,” Rubio said. “The Venezuelan nationals indicted by the Justice Department have promoted narco-terrorism and illicit drug trade in our hemisphere, threatening the security of America and our allies in the region. The United States will not stop until justice for these crimes prevails.”
Rubio is the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.

RUBIO COMENTA SOBRE EL ENJUICIAMIENTO CONTRA EL NARCO-DICTADOR NICOLÁS MADURO Y SUS SECUACES
Miami, FL — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado después que el Fiscal General William Barr, la Fiscal Federal Ariana Fajardo Orshan del Distrito del Sur de Florida, el Fiscal Federal Geoffrey Berman del Distrito Sur de Nueva York y el Fiscal General Adjunto Brian Benczkowski de la División Criminal del Departamento de Justicia acusaron formalmente al narco-dictador venezolano Nicolás Maduro y miembros de su cúpula de delitos que van desde el lavado de dinero y la corrupción hasta la conspiración con las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) –una Organización Terrorista Extranjera designada por los Estados Unidos– para transportar cocaína a los Estados Unidos y las comunidades de EE.UU.:
“Por demasiado tiempo, la empresa criminal de Maduro se ha enriquecido ilegalmente a través de la corrupción, el tráfico de drogas y el terrorismo. La acusación de hoy contra Nicolás Maduro y los miembros de su régimen es un paso sin precedentes para responsabilizar a muchos secuaces que han convertido un país democrático en un narcoestado”, Rubio dijo. “Los ciudadanos venezolanos acusados por el Departamento de Justicia han promovido el narcotráfico y el tráfico ilícito de drogas en nuestro hemisferio, amenazando la seguridad de los Estados Unidos y de nuestros aliados en la región. Estados Unidos no se detendrá hasta que prevalezca la justicia por estos crímenes”.
Rubio es el presidente del Subcomité de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, Delincuencia Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
