Venezuelan official Alex Saab, a close ally of Nicolás Maduro, was deported to the U.S., Venezuela’s migration agency said Saturday. Saab was arrested in Caracas in February during a joint U.S.-Venezuelan operation, shortly after Maduro’s own capture by U.S. forces. Saab, a Colombian-born businessman, had previously faced U.S. bribery charges after his 2020 arrest in Cape Verde. He was pardoned in 2023 in exchange for the release of detained Americans in Venezuela. Source: Reuters
