Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This bill increases the maximum reward amount that the State Department can offer for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro from the standard limit to $100 million. The legislation responds to charges filed against Maduro in 2020 for narco-terrorism, cocaine trafficking, and weapons-related offenses involving alleged conspiracies to flood the United States with drugs. The $100 million reward would be paid exclusively from frozen assets already seized from Maduro, other regime officials, and their associates through existing sanctions programs, so it would not require new federal spending. The bill was introduced in September 2024 with bipartisan sponsorship and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
