The Cartel of the Sun: How Maduro and Venezuelan Generals Control Drug Trafficking.
The Role of Nicolás Maduro in Drug Trafficking
Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro is not just involved in organized crime — he leads it. According to experts, from generals to judges, the political and military elite of Venezuela is closely tied to a powerful drug trafficking network that is engaged in cocaine transportation.According to The Sun: The Cartel de los Soles, which translates to the Cartel of the Suns, is not an ordinary cartel; it is a complex structure involving high-ranking officials and military personnel.
The cartel is believed to control a significant portion of drug trafficking in the country, using its connections to ensure smooth operations.
This situation raises serious concerns both within Venezuela and beyond, as law violations at such a high level threaten the stability and security of the region.
The interplay between authorities and criminal groups in Venezuela has become the subject of serious international investigations. Evidence indicating the involvement of state structures in drug trafficking highlights the scale of the problem faced not only by Venezuela but by the entire region. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the fight against drug crime and underscores the necessity of international cooperation to ensure security.
