Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar says she is not sur­prised that the Unit­ed States’ in­dict­ment of Venezuela Pres­i­dent Nicolás Maduro con­tains al­le­ga­tions that Caribbean politi­cians were com­plic­it in the co­caine traf­fick­ing trade.

The Su­per­sed­ing In­dict­ment doc­u­ment, which con­tains the Grand Ju­ry charges against Maduro and oth­ers, claims that Caribbean politi­cians ben­e­fit­ed fi­nan­cial­ly from these traf­fick­ers in re­turn for pro­tec­tion against the law.
