BLACKWATER FOUNDER ERIK PRINCE PROPOSES $100 MILLION BOUNTY TO TARGET VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT NICOLÁS MADURO

on



Erik Prince, founder of the renowned private military company Blackwater, publicly suggested that a group of mercenaries would be ready to eliminate Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, National Assembly Deputy Diosdado Cabello, and other high-ranking members of the Venezuelan government or the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), provided U.S. authorities raise the bounties to $100 million each for these already wanted criminals.


In a post on the social network X, directed at U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, Prince hinted that if the bounties on Maduro and other Venezuelan leaders were increased, U.S. authorities could "sit back and watch the magic happen."



Prince also pointed out that payment to the mercenaries could be made using Venezuelan funds frozen in U.S. banks, referring to state assets that have been seized by the U.S. and its allies.


In response, Samuel Moncada, Permanent Representative of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to the United Nations, stated, “In Venezuela, our fight is against global fascism, and the vast majority of our people are willing to fight for our independence.”


Back in 2019, then-U.S. President Donald Trump offered a $15 million reward for Maduro’s capture. However, a key question arises: How far is the criminal regime of Nicolás Maduro willing to go to maintain its grip on power? Could this extend to attempts to strike back at foreign governments that oppose them? 


Prince's proposal underscores his belief that higher rewards would expedite the capture of these officials, using funds already frozen in U.S. banks from the Venezuelan regime. He voiced his opinion on social media, stating, “If Kamala Harris and Joe Biden want to actually support freedom and legitimate elections in Venezuela, they should elevate the bounties to $100 million each on these already wanted criminals, Nicolás Maduro and Diosdado Cabello.”
