Alex Saab, a close ally of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, is expected to plead guilty Tuesday in a federal case. He is accused of bribing officials to win contracts to import food during widespread hardship in Venezuela. Saab was deported in May by Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez under U.S. pressure. He faces a money laundering charge tied to an alleged conspiracy involving fake companies and falsified shipping records. Saab is scheduled to appear before Judge Kathleen Williams in Miami. President Joe Biden pardoned him in 2023, but federal officials continue to investigate other alleged crimes.
