WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US prosecutors are preparing a new criminal probe into Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro amid concerns that an existing case may be too weak to proceed, CBS News reported on Tuesday, citing sources.
The new probe comes after Alex Saab, former Venezuelan Minister of Industry and National Production of Venezuela and the tycoon close to Maduro, was deported to the United States and indicted over his alleged role in a money-laundering conspiracy linked to a Venezuelan state-run food program, the report said.
