An associate of the former Maduro regime has been charged with a money laundering conspiracy, federal prosecutors announced on Monday.
Alex Nain Saab Moran, 55, a Colombian national who once served as Venezuela’s minister of industry and national production, appeared in federal court in the Southern District of Florida after Homeland Security Task Force agents took him into custody. Venezuelan authorities had deported him to the United States two days earlier, prosecutors said.
