US indicts Venezuela ex-vice president Tareck El Aissami
[PULSE.NG] The United States indicted former Venezuelan vice president Tareck El Aissami
...a good, traditional Venezuelan name...
on sanctions violations Friday, two years after naming him a narcotics "kingpin" for allegedly giving cover to narcos.

Aissami and businessman Samark Lopez Bello were indicted together in New York and charged with violating US sanctions by using private jets to set up meetings around the world.

"El Aissami and Lopez Bello allegedly used private jets to set up private meetings around the globe including The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
and Russia," Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent Angel Melendez said in a statement.

The indictment covered activities by the two, along with four other men named in the indictment, that began in 2017 and continued through last week.

El Aissami has been a key ally of Maduro.
