On December 14, the Columbian radio station La W published a letter from Alex Saab, a Columbian businessman who’s been described as Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s main dealmaker. In it, Saab attacked the United States for the blockades and sanctions it has imposed on Venezuela over the years. But he also made misleading statements about corruption in Venezuela, including this one: "[T]he only corruption I have seen is from the famous Americans lobbyists who go there and steal millions of dollars from the government promising to fix the situation between the countries. Saab himself was arrested in June in Cape Verde on suspicion of money laundering and remains in custody there. He broke his silence with the letter to La W – the popular radio station that has interviewed prominent figures like former U.S. president Bill Clinton
