WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) The United States on Wednesday announced sanctions against a Venezuelan judge and a prosecutor involved in the trial of six executives of U.S. refiner Citgo last month.
The Treasury Department said in a statement that it had designated Lorena Carolina Cornielles Ruiz, a judge in the Venezuelan Supreme Court who presided over the trial, and a prosecutor at the Public Ministry of Venezuela.
In the statement, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin asserted that the unjust detention and sentencing of these six U.S. persons further demonstrates how corruption and abuse of power are deeply embedded in Venezuela s institutions.
