Alex Saab is a Venezuelan official and businessman with close ties to former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He is considered by some to be Maduro's frontman. Saab has faced money laundering charges in the United States. He is newsworthy due to his recent arrest in Venezuela as part of a joint operation between U.S. and Venezuelan authorities. Saab had previously been held in the U.S. and is expected to be extradited back to the U.S. in the coming days. His arrest and potential extradition signal deepening cooperation between the U.S. and Venezuela, particularly in targeting individuals accused of corruption and money laundering. The case highlights the ongoing efforts to hold individuals accountable for alleged financial crimes related to the Maduro regime.
