U.S. Offers $50 Million Reward for Capture of Nicolás Maduro
Washington, D.C. — August 7, 2025 — U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of State Marco Rubio today announced a historic increase in the reward for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Nicolás Maduro, raising it to $50 million under the Narcotics Rewards Program (NRP).
For more than a decade, Maduro has been accused of leading the Cartel de los Soles, a powerful criminal organization responsible for funneling massive quantities of narcotics into the United States. On July 25, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury officially designated the cartel as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) entity, further intensifying the international manhunt.
“Maduro is not just a corrupt politician—he is a criminal kingpin who has poisoned our communities with illegal drugs,” said Attorney General Bondi. “The United States will use every tool at our disposal to bring him to justice.”
Since 2020, Maduro has been accused of dismantling Venezuela’s democratic institutions and consolidating his hold on power. He controversially claimed victory in Venezuela’s July 28, 2024 presidential election, but failed to produce credible evidence of the win. The United States does not recognize Maduro as Venezuela’s legitimate president.
The reward increase underscores President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy of targeting transnational criminal networks that threaten U.S. security.
Individuals with information on Maduro’s whereabouts are urged to contact the DEA by phone (voice, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, or text) at +1-202-681-8187, or by email. Outside the U.S., tipsters may also approach the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate; inside the U.S., tips can be submitted to local DEA field offices.
“This is one of the highest reward offers in U.S. history,” said Secretary Rubio. “We will not stop until Maduro faces justice in an American court.”
