The cooperation between the US and the new Venezuela continues to bear fruit.
54-year-old Colombian businessman Alex Saab, a close ally of former Venezuelan Dictator Nicolás Maduro, has been reportedly extradited to the US.
He had been arrested in February, in a joint US-Venezuelan operation, and was extradited to the US yesterday (16), less than three years after being pardoned by feeble Joe Biden.
Saab’s deportation was announced in a press release from Venezuela’s Ministry of Justice, which was shared on Instagram.
Finalmente, aquí tienen el rostro del mal, miren esa cara de miedo. Alex Saab ya está en los Estados Unidos bajo el control de la DEA.

The New York Post reported:
“Alex Saab, 54, a Colombian-Venezuelan businessman described by US officials as a close ally to Maduro was arrested in Caracas during a joint US-Venezuelan operation in February, according to a US law enforcement official.
‘The deportation was ordered considering that the aforementioned Colombian citizen is involved in the commission of various crimes in the United States of America, as is public knowledge and widely reported’, the statement continued.”

It’s unclear whether Saab was stripped of citizenship to allow his deportation, or whether a provision in a 1922 treaty between Washington and Caracas was invoked as an exception.
The Biden Regime freed Maduro’s bagman Alex Saab in a shady 2023 prisoner swap…letting the alleged sanctions-busting food racketeer walk after years of dodging justice.
