The trial of two relatives of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro came to an end last week with two convictions. The 2 nephews of the president were both convicted on multiple counts of drug trafficking and conspiracy to sell and distribute drugs in the US. Captured by US authorities, the 2 were brought to the States and held for trial. They were caught before they were allowed to carry out their dirty deeds. They assumed that they would be immune from prosecution because of their relation with the president. However, they were wrong, and now they face decades in US prisons for their crimes.
Welcome to the US and its system of justice which continues to work just fine, unlike that in most Latin American countries, including the brothers' home in Venezuela.
Maybe President Maduro, who is having his own troubles, will come north for a visit to check up on the 2 young drug dealers. Maybe not.
