The United States Government (USA) appointed the Los Soles poster as a terrorist organization by considering that this criminal group actively supports the Sinaloa cartel and the Transnational Train of Aragua, organizations that were also recently designated as terrorists.

These charges appointed Maduro as the assumption of the Los Soles cartel and pointed him out to him and his relatives to operate a network of government corruption that “facilitated the importation of tons of cocaine to the United States.” The Office of the Prosecutor of the Southern District of New York, where the positions were presented, indicated that Maduro supposedly negotiated the shipment of cocaine produced by the FARC, to which he allegedly supplied military weapons, and coordinated external issues to facilitate drug trafficking to “large scale.”
One of the officials mentioned in this accusation, the ex -general Hugo “El Pollo” Carvajal, is currently being held in the US after being extradited from Spain and faces a trial.
The Venezuela government has consistently rejected Washington’s accusations, calling them interferences. Recently, the Venezuelan Chancellor, Yván Gil, even denied the existence of the Aragua train, ensuring that it is a “media fiction.”
