WASHINGTON—The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on a Venezuelan judge and a prosecutor over their roles in the trial of six former executives of U.S. refiner Citgo sentenced to prison by a Venezuelan court last month.
The U.S. Treasury Department in a statement said it blacklisted the Supreme Court judge who presided over the trial of the six, Lorena Carolina Cornielles Ruiz, and the prosecutor who represented the government of President Nicolas Maduro during the trial, Ramon Antonio Torres Espinoza.
