"Biden administration secures prisoner swap, freeing American detainees in exchange for Maduro ally"

The Biden administration has finalized a deal with Venezuela that would exchange one of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's close allies, Alex Nain Saab Morán, for at least eight Americans held in Venezuela, including some who are designated as wrongfully detained. The swap is expected to take place in a third country. Saab, who was charged with money laundering in Florida in 2019, has been trying to get his case dismissed by claiming diplomatic immunity. The deal comes as part of the Biden administration's efforts to secure the release of American detainees and promote fair elections in Venezuela.
