Maduro associate Alex Saab pleads guilty in US court, reversing prior stance

Alex Saab, accused of acting as a front man for Nicolás Maduro, changed his plea to guilty in a Miami court, marking a significant reversal from his earlier defense. The plea likely signals cooperation with US prosecutors, potentially exposing high-level corruption networks within the Maduro administration. This development could escalate US-Venezuela tensions and impact ongoing sanctions and diplomatic efforts.
