MIAMI — The U.S. State Department announced Friday that it has increased the reward to $25 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

The increase comes as part of a new campaign to apprehend Maduro, 62, who has been indicted in the United States since 2020 for his alleged involvement in drug trafficking and narcoterrorism.
Maduro, who has ruled Venezuela since 2013, faces federal charges including cocaine trafficking and weapons crimes.
U.S. prosecutors say he played a central role in the Cartel of the Suns, a Venezuelan drug trafficking organization staffed by high-ranking officials.
According to the indictment, Maduro coordinated multi-ton shipments of cocaine with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a designated terrorist organization.
U.S. authorities said Maduro ordered the cartel to provide military-grade weapons to the FARC and sought its help in forming an unauthorized militia that operated as an armed wing of the cartel.
The State Department initially offered a $15 million reward for Maduro's capture in 2020.
The increase to $25 million reflects “the seriousness of his crimes and the continuing threat he poses to international stability”, a senior official said.
Maduro has been accused of consolidating his power through fraudulent elections, including his disputed victory in Venezuela's July 2024 presidential election, which the United States and other countries have refused to recognize.
Anyone outside the United States with information about Maduro is asked to contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. In the United States, tips can be directed to the local Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) office.
