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.
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.
