The United States has expanded its accusation against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores to include two unnamed high-ranking officials within the Dirección General de Contrainteligencia Militar (DGIM). This development signifies increased US pressure regarding alleged criminal activities within the Venezuelan government. The accusation comes as the DGIM attempts to improve its public image through the publication of reports on human rights. The US move suggests skepticism towards these efforts, viewing them as a public relations tactic rather than genuine reform. This escalation in legal pressure indicates a continued US strategy of targeting key figures within the Venezuelan regime. The accusations haven’t specified the crimes these DGIM officials are alleged to have committed, but are linked to the broader case against Maduro and Flores. TalCual initially reported the news.
