Venezuela deports Maduro ally Alex Saab to face US criminal proceedings
Venezuela has deported Alex Saab, a key ally of President Nicolás Maduro, to the United States to face criminal charges. This action represents a significant shift after Maduro had previously fought to secure Saab's return.
The decision marks a stark reversal for Alex Saab, who Mr. Maduro fought tooth and nail to bring home after his previous international arrest in 2020
