The U.S. Department of Justice seized the plane of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro on Monday after determining that it was illegally obtained.
U.S. officials seized the aircraft in the Dominican Republic and transferred it to the Southern District of Florida due to violations of U.S. export control and sanctions laws, the DOJ said in a statement.
Maduro’s Dassault Falcon 900EX aircraft, purchased for roughly $13 million, was illegally purchased sometime between late 2022 and early 2023 by Maduro’s associates from a company in Florida.
The aircraft was illegally exported out of the U.S. and since then has “flown almost exclusively to and from a military base in Venezuela and has been used for the benefit of Maduro and his representatives, including to transport Maduro on visits to other countries.”
