The U.S. has raised its reward to $25 million for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, coinciding with his inauguration for a third six-year term, the BBC reported.
The ceremony drew condemnation from international leaders and opposition figures, who accused Maduro of undermining democracy.
Additional rewards were announced, including $15 million for Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino and undisclosed sums for Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello.
Meanwhile, the UK imposed sanctions on 15 Venezuelan officials, targeting judges, military leaders, and security forces for alleged human rights violations.
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy criticized Maduro’s administration as “fraudulent,” accusing it of eroding democratic values.
