Bill > S39

This bill aims to increase the maximum reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Nicolás Maduro Moros, the leader of Venezuela, to $100 million. The bill is based on criminal charges from 2020 that accused Maduro of participating in narco-terrorism, conspiring to import cocaine into the United States, and using machine guns and destructive devices in connection with these activities. The reward would be paid exclusively from assets that have been withheld from Maduro, his regime officials, and their co-conspirators through various sanctions mechanisms, including the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act and several executive orders targeting Venezuelan government officials. The bill highlights statements from U.S. Attorneys who characterized Maduro's actions as a deliberate attempt to flood the United States with cocaine and undermine the nation's health and well-being. By offering such a substantial reward, the bill seeks to incentivize individuals to provide information that could lead to Maduro's arrest and conviction for these alleged serious criminal activities.
