STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSNEW YORK - A U.S. pilot pleaded guilty on Tuesday to violating American sanctions by transporting former Venezuelan oil minister Tareck El Aissami, whom Washington accuses of drug trafficking.
Orsini said agents with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security visited his home in 2018, after he had flown El Aissami between Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. Orsini said the agents recorded the call and told him he could continue to fly El Aissami as long as he informed them, but that he did not tell them about several subsequent flights.Victor Mones, who founded the Florida private jet firm, pleaded guilty in 2019 to violating sanctions. He was sentenced in 2021 to 4-1/2 years in prison.
The United States charged El Aissami, Orsini, Mones and others with criminal sanctions violations over the flights in 2019, as Washington ramped up pressure on Venezuela's socialist President Nicolas Maduro to resign.
