schema:articleBody	A Colombian businessman facing US money laundering charges and accused of malfeasance in Venezuela dealings has been arrested in the African island archipelago of Cape Verde, his lawyer in Miami said Saturday. Cape Verde has no extradition treaty with the United States and Alex Saab's lawyer Maria Dominguez, who confirmed his arrest to AFP, did not offer any further details about the case. Saab and his business partner Alvaro Pulido have been charged in the US with money laundering, moving some $350 million out of Venezuela either to the US or through the US to foreign accounts. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison. The US Treasury Department says since 2016, Saab has tried to profit off importing emergency food into Venezuela as it struggled with rising shortages and malnutrition, in a scheme which also includes President Nicolas Maduro's stepchildren as well as 13 companies in various countries. A senior US official, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, said that in the face of a foreign currency shortage in early 2018, Maduro also granted Saab a monopoly on the sale of gold illegally extracted from vast mining areas in southern Venezuela. The Venezuelan opposition, headed by Juan Guaido -- recognized by 50 countries as Venezuela's interim president -- welcomed Saab's arrest. "His capture is a hard blow to the structure of the regime, it shows that we Venezuelans are not alone and that with Maduro there is no future, not even for those who support him," said Guaido's deputy Julio Borges. Saab and his Italian wife, Camilla Fabri, have also been under investigation in Italy for money laundering, according to the Italian press. lm-atm/yow/st/acb
