WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government has seized a plane used by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, citing violations of sanctions and export control laws, the Justice Department said Monday.
U.S. officials allege that the aircraft was illegally purchased through a shell company and smuggled out of the United States.
The plane, registered to San Marino, was widely used by Maduro for foreign travel, including in a trips earlier this year to Guyana and Cuba.
The government’s centralized press office did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking comment Monday.
