US seizes Maduro's plane
Stockholm, September 3 (Hibya) - US authorities today seized the plane belonging to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
US Attorney General Merrick Garland said the plane was purchased illegally and violated a US government embargo on Venezuela.
Prosecutors alleged that people linked to Maduro used fraud to purchase the plane and conceal the fact that it was intended for Nicolas Maduro.
The plane Maduro uses for official visits is a Dassault Falcon 900EX and was in the Dominican Republic when the Americans seized it. It was flown to Florida Tuesday morning.
The Venezuelan government reacted angrily, saying the Americans had hijacked the plane.
