US charges Maduro's 'bag man' Alex Saab with money laundering

US prosecutors charged Alex Saab, known as the 'bag man' for ex-Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, with money laundering over an alleged scheme exploiting a Venezuelan welfare programme. Prosecutors said Saab and others used fake companies and shipping records to siphon hundreds of millions of dollars meant for food supplies. Saab was deported to the US by interim President Delcy Rodriguez.
