The US seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s plane after concluding it was bought and operated in violation of US sanctions.
The Dassault Falcon 900EX jet was seized earlier this year by police in the Dominican Republic when it landed in Santo Domingo. A Florida district court requested an embargo on the aircraft on May 22, according to documents obtained by Bloomberg. The US Justice Department says the plane was purchased through a shell company and smuggled out of the country.
