Targeting Family Members of Maduro’s Corrupt Network

Today, the United States is sanctioning seven family members of individuals tied to the illegitimate and corrupt Maduro regime.

On December 11, the United States designated Carlos Erik Malpica Flores, a nephew of Nicolás Maduro, and Ramón Carretero Napolitano, a Panamanian businessman who facilitated the continued corruption of the Maduro regime. Today’s sanctions target family members of these two men who have been determined to be responsible for, or complicit in, deceptive actions or corruption involving the Venezuelan state. This includes Maduro’s sister-in-law and other relatives of Malpica Flores, in addition to two immediate family members of Carretero.
