00:00The U.S. Department of Justice modified one of the main charges against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro,
00:07removing the claim that he allegedly lead a criminal organization known as the Cartel de los Soles.
00:14In the updated indictment, the persecution maintains the charges of conspiracy to traffic drugs against President Nicolás Maduro,
00:24but no longer presents Cartel de los Soles as a criminal organization itself,
00:31now describing it as a system of sponsorship and a culture of corruption driven by the drug money,
00:40very different from the hierarchical organization that President Donald Trump used to justify military deployments and blockage against Venezuela.
00:52The received indictments filed in the New York reduces references to the Cartel de los Soles from 32 to just 2,
01:02dismantling the media fable spread by major global media outlets.
01:07This shift comes days after Maduro skipped napping on January 3 and had condemned internationally for violating international law.
01:16In November 2025, the Venezuelan government rejected the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's maneuvers
01:27to designate the non-existent Cartel de los Soles as a terrorist organization.
01:32According to Caracas, the estradiers solve to perpetrate an infamous and veil lie to justify
01:39and legitimate an illegal intervention against Venezuela in the classic U.S. style of regime change.
01:47The Cartel de los Soles is not mentioned once in the annual National Drug Threat Assessments
01:54from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration,
01:57nor in the annual World Drug Report of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
