The United States Department of Justice is confidently handling a criminal charge against Delcy Rodríguez for alleged crimes of corruption and money laundering.
The information was released by Reuters, stating that the process would have the explicit support of President Donald Trump.
According to the report, the judicial file would target the current central figure of the Venezuelan regime for alleged financial irregularities linked to its political and economic environment. The agency maintained that the measure is part of the strategy of sustained pressure that Washington has been applying on the Chavista
leadership. An arrest warrant could be issued for Delcy Rodriguez.
So far, no public charges have been filed in federal court nor has there been a formal statement from the Department of Justice or the White House confirming technical details of the accusation. Disseminated information indicates that the process would be at a preparatory stage
.
According to the report, the U.S. administration could use this possible accusation as an instrument of political influence in the Venezuelan scenario. The agency argued that the judicial initiative could work as a lever to advance Washington's agenda.
The possible cause is part of a broader policy of judicial and financial pressure against leaders of Chavism. In recent years, the U.S. Justice system has launched different processes against members of the Venezuelan power structure on charges linked to drug trafficking and financial crimes
.
In this context, a formal accusation against Rodríguez would imply a new judicial front with a high political impact. The mere preparation of such a file can have diplomatic, financial and personal consequences, especially with regard to travel restrictions and possible international arrest warrants if the
case were to proceed. Trump and Marco Rubio are making decisive headway against narco-terrorism.
For now, the case remains in the area of news information released by Reuters. There is no publicly accessible judicial documentation or additional official confirmation from U.S. authorities.
The evolution of the process will depend on whether the Department of Justice decides to formalize the accusation before a federal court and begin an open judicial phase. If it were to materialize, it would be a weighty movement within the regional geopolitical board
