Switzerland has frozen assets held in the country by Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro and associates, the Swiss government said on Monday, following his arrest by U.S. forces in Caracas and transfer to the United States.
A spokesperson for the Swiss Foreign Ministry said the order affects 37 people. The spokesperson said the ministry could not provide any details on the value of the assets in question.
Just like everyone froze Putlers money ca 2004? 2012? 2014?
Be realistic. When exactly to freeze is a political decision. Why do you expect a tiny country to expose itself when others 100x more powerful won’t? And still haven’t, by the way. Maduro can get his money from UK accounts as we speak, but I don’t see you hating on them.
Yes, you get it, it’s about corrupt power and not the law.
This action was in accord with international and national law
Funny how it only happened after the illegal act of war then
Yes, this was already pointed out, please refer to the previous reply
I don’t? They could have just stayed out of it but chose to “expose” themselves just now when it was convenient. If you’re not going to speak up against injustice then don’t, but then own it. Don’t come swooping down like a vulture once it’s safe and act like you’re all just and good and “for the people of Venezuela”.
Please don’t conflate things. The parent suggested this was done in the interest of the USA, which is not the case, this is in the interest of Venezuela.
Also, please don’t call me names.
No, I suggested this was done in the interest of the orange rapist, which is not the same. Targeting the person currently in his sights is absolutely meant to gain browny points with him (and likely to work for a time). If it was meant to achieve anything else, it could and should have been done much earlier.
Maybe coincidentally. That entirely depends on with whom the assets end up, which remains to be seen.
I did not.
