CARACAS, Venezuela — A U.S. congressional report on drug trafficking in Venezuela charges that corruption within the government and military has led to a permissive environment that allows smuggling to flourish.
The report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, released Monday, details U.S. officials’ concerns that Venezuela has extended a “lifeline” to Colombian rebels and other illegal armed groups that rely on drug sales for financing “by providing significant support and safe haven along the border.”
