For several years the United States has sanctioned a large number of relatives of the Venezuelan government, including President Nicolas Maduro, almost entirely being accused of corruption, crimes against the country’s population, drug trafficking and many others. In 2018, the Venezuelan media issued a list of the 13 hierarchs with the highest amount of sanctions issued by the USA, and of which they continue to accumulate today.Among the main sanctions we can mentionDiosdado Caballo: Former president of the National Assembly. Sanctioned in 2018 by the U.S. Department of the Treasury along with his wife, brother and 3 companies registered in Florida. The companies, all based in Boca Raton, were mentioned as 11420 Corp., Noor Plantation Investments LLC and SAI Advisors Inc.Vladimir Padrino López: Current defense minister of Venezuela, the main coordinator of the so-called “Collectives” that are responsible for attacking any protester using any method including firearms given by the same army, sanctioned last year along with other senior military commanders of the country by the Department of the Treasury, being seized multiple properties in his name in the state of Florida, each with a frontman to avoid the penalties that would have to have the real estate in his name.Tibisay Lucena: President of the National Electoral Council CNE (entity that is responsible for coordinating all electoral processes in Venezuela) since the previous President Hugo Chavez came to power in 1998, has been the main culprit in voiding any guarantee of transparent and democratic elections for more 20 years old Sanctioned since 2017 by President Trump for actively promoting the elections of the National Constituent Assembly, as well as collaborating in some way to undermine democracy or human rights in VenezuelaElias Jaua: Ex Minister of Education and perhaps one of the most sanctioned in the country for the breakdown of the democratic order. sanctioned 2017 by Switzerland for denying having multiple properties and bank accounts in that country.

Jorge Rodriguez: Current communication minister and one of those on the blacklist of President Trump. with the entry strictly prohibited to the American soil. sanctioned for Corruption, violation of human and constitutional rights. Contacts linked to drug trafficking and many more charges.
