Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar said she was not sur­prised that the Unit­ed States’ in­dict­ment of Venezue­lan Pres­i­dent Nicolás Maduro in­cludes al­le­ga­tions that Caribbean politi­cians were com­plic­it in co­caine traf­fick­ing.

The su­per­sed­ing in­dict­ment, un­sealed by a US fed­er­al grand ju­ry in the South­ern Dis­trict of New York on Sat­ur­day (Jan­u­ary 3), de­tails grand ju­ry charges against Maduro and oth­er high-rank­ing Venezue­lan of­fi­cials.
