STOP MADURO Act

The STOP MADURO Act (S 5126) authorizes a $100 million reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro Moros, directly affecting individuals who provide actionable intelligence. It specifies that this reward must be funded exclusively from assets already frozen under existing U.S. sanctions against Maduro and his regime, including those blocked under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Act and Venezuela-related executive orders. The bill does not impose new sanctions but repurposes funds from current asset freezes to incentivize cooperation. This provision targets informants who can aid U.S. law enforcement in pursuing Maduro, who faces prior criminal charges related to drug trafficking and narco-terrorism.
