Countering the Maduro regime’s global web of illicit activities – Event Recap

Despite increasing domestic turmoil accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic and continued international pressure, the Nicolás Maduro regime remains entrenched. A top priority should be disrupting and deterring the illicit funding sources and the nefarious external and non-state partners that help sustain Maduro and his backers. This is especially important as the country heads into sham parliamentary elections later this year amid further restrictions on political liberties and political dissent. What new policies should the United States and the international community develop to combat the criminal activities that continue to impede a recovery of democratic institutions in Venezuela? On August 13, 2020, the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center hosted a conversation on Maduro’s expansive global illegal network and potential strategies to combat these activities and secure democratic restoration in Venezuela. This conversation will also launch an Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center policy brief by contributing author Douglas Farah that investigates the origins of the Maduro regime’s criminal activities and its connections to regional and international players. Speakers included: Admiral Craig Faller, Commander, US Southern Command; Carrie Filipetti, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, US Department of State; Denise Natali, Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations, US Department of State; and Douglas Farah, President, IBI Consultants and Atlantic Council author.
