Rubio Statement on New Sanctions Against Alex Saab’s Network
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), in coordination with the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s National Targeting Center, and other U.S. government agencies, designated three individuals and 16 entities for enabling the Maduro crime family to profit from imports of food aid and distribution in Venezuela under the illegitimate regime’s food subsidy known as the Local Committees for Supply and Production (CLAP). Today’s sanctions designations target those who are directly or indirectly linked to Alex Saab, previously sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department for his involvement in a large corruption network connected to the illegitimate Maduro regime.
“The Treasury Department’s sanctions designations today underscore our nation’s unwavering support for the people of Venezuela and the interim government of President Juan Guaidó,” Rubio said. “I applaud the Trump administration for imposing additional sanctions against individuals and entities who are illegally profiting from the suffering of the Venezuelan people through the CLAP boxes. The United States and the international community must continue to hold Maduro’s cronies and his enablers accountable, and not sit idly by as these thugs continue to benefit at the expense of the lives and livelihood of the suffering Venezuelan people.”
Rubio is the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.
Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado después que la Oficina de Control de Activos Extranjeros (OFAC), en coordinación con la Administración de Control de Drogas, La Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza y otras agencias gubernamentales de EE.UU, designara a tres personas y 16 entidades por permitir al régimen de Nicolás Maduro y sus secuaces beneficiarse de las importaciones de ayuda alimenticia y distribución de los productos bajo el subsidio de los Comités Locales de Abastecimiento y Producción (CLAP). Las sanciones están dirigidas a individuos y entidades que están directa o indirectamente vinculadas a Alex Saab, quien fue previamente sancionado por el Departamento del Tesoro de EE. UU. por su participación en una gran red de corrupción vinculada al régimen ilegítimo de Nicolás Maduro.
“Las sanciones del Departamento del Tesoro enfatizan el apoyo inquebrantable de nuestra nación al pueblo de Venezuela y al gobierno interino del presidente Juan Guaidó”, Rubio dijo. “Aplaudo la medida de la administración Trump de imponer sanciones adicionales contra individuos y entidades que se están aprovechando ilegalmente del sufrimiento del pueblo venezolano a través de las cajas CLAP. Estados Unidos y la comunidad internacional deben continuar responsabilizando a los secuaces de Maduro y no quedarse de manos cruzadas mientras estos mafiosos continúan beneficiándose a costa del sufriente pueblo venezolano”.
Rubio es el presidente del Subcomité de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, Delincuencia Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
