Britain sanctions Venezuelan President Maduro s envoy Saab by Reuters Thursday, 22 July 2021 23:41 GMT About our Food coverage We explore the challenges of ending hunger and malnutrition as food production adjusts to a warming world Share: By Marc Jones LONDON, July 22 (Reuters) - Britain on Thursday sanctioned one of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro s envoys, Alex Saab, in connection with an allegedly corrupt deal to obtain supplies for Maduro s government-run food subsidy programme. Saab, a Colombian national, is currently detained in Cape Verde facing extradition to the United States, which accuses him of helping Maduro s government skirt U.S. sanctions imposed in 2019. Britain said Saab had been sanctioned along with his associate Alvaro Pulido for exploiting two of Venezuela s public programmes which were set up to supply poor Venezuelans with affordable foodstuffs and housing.
