Switzerland lifts asset freeze on Cabello's wife and Arreaza, adds Saab

–

Neutral summary

Switzerland has updated its sanctions list targeting associates of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, removing Marleny Contreras, wife of Diosdado Cabello, and Jorge Arreaza from the asset freeze registry. The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs modified the preventive freeze list after a review found no funds or indications of corruption linked to the two individuals. According to Semana, Alex Saab and Alvaro Pulido, also considered close to Maduro, were added to the list. Efecto Cocuyo confirms the removal of Contreras and Arreaza, noting that other Maduro associates, including Saab and Pulido, were included. El Nacional specifies that the decision followed verification that there were no grounds to maintain restrictions on these two figures. The Swiss authorities thus partially revised the sanctions list, keeping measures in place against other individuals from the Venezuelan leadership's inner circle.
