Justice Dept Pauses Probe Into Rodríguez
Description
Federal prosecutors in Miami have been instructed to halt any criminal investigations into Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, as the U.S. seeks to stabilize the country and attract investment. Though no active probe existed, her name has surfaced in DEA investigations since 2018. The pause aims to avoid disrupting diplomatic efforts, easing pressure on Rodríguez to rebuild ties with Western banks and U.S. investors. President Trump has publicly praised her, calling her a “terrific person,” and sanctions against her have been lifted. Yet critics question the move, citing her past role in a repressive regime and demanding proof of democratic progress. This mirrors a similar arrangement with Colombian President Gustavo Petro, sparking concerns among former prosecutors about politicized justice.
