The FBI reported this Saturday that two men have been charged in connection with a money laundering scheme operated by the sons of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. The charges come as a result of a years-long investigation led by the agency's Miami office.
The investigation was launched based on indications that an individual named Arick Komarczyk had opened bank accounts in the US for Maduro's sons and their associates residing in the country. An undercover operation conducted in 2022 revealed that Komarczyk and his partner, Irazmar Carbajal, agreed to move $100,000 that the FBI says belongs to the Venezuelan government.
In total, according to the security agency, the now-charged individuals managed to move approximately $25,000. The office added that, when confronted with the situation, Komarczyk did not show alarm; instead, he described it as a "sexy business." Both detainees were processed on September 25 in Florida and charged with money laundering and conspiracy.
