U.S. targets Maduro-aligned Venezuelan officials

The Treasury Department has reported that OFAC has sanctioned 21 security and cabinet-level officials aligned with Nicolas Maduro. These individuals are sanctioned under the authority of Executive Order 13692 for being current or former officials of the Government of Venezuela. They have supported and carried out Maduro’s orders to repress civil society in his efforts to fraudulently declare himself the winner of Venezuela’s July 28 presidential election, thus ignoring the will of the overwhelming majority of Venezuelan voters who elected Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia as their next president.
