Miami. Las autoridades de Cabo Verde arrestaron a Álex Saab, un conocido empresario colombiano acusado por Estados Unidos de tener tratos corruptos con el gobierno socialista del presidente Nicolás Maduro en Venezuela.

Una portavoz del Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos dijo el sábado que Saab fue detenido de conformidad con un aviso rojo de Interpol, emitido en relación con los cargos de lavado de dinero presentados por fiscales de Estados Unidos en Miami. La vocera declinó hacer más comentarios, al igual que la abogada estadounidense de Saab, María Domínguez.
