Iran, Turkey, and Venezuela's Super Facilitator: Who Is Slex Saab?
On June 12, Alex Nain Saab Morán, a Colombian businessman of Lebanese descent, was arrested at Amílcar Cabral International airport in Cape Verde. This was a huge blow to the Maduro regime’s illicit networks, as Saab is a key facilitator, involved in alleged corrupt dealings and money laundering in Venezuela since 2004. His arrest was made after years of investigations on behalf of the U.S. and Colombia to uncover a myriad of shell companies that Saab; his business partner, Alvaro Pulido Vargas; and family members set up. Considered a fugitive in Colombia, in October 2018, Colombian prosecutors arrested and charged two of Saab’s associates with money-laundering through an import-export business in Baranquilla, then officially charged Saab with money-laundering the following year. In July 2019, the U.S. Justice Department indicted Alex Saab, as well as Pulido Vargas, on seven counts of money laundering, concurrently as Treasury’s OFAC sanctioned Saab and Pulido Vargas for looting hundreds of millions of dollars from the Venezuelan people. Detained in Cape Verde, Alex Saab is in the process of possibly being extradited to the United States. The Maduro regime and Saab’s lawyer, unsuccessfully, attempted to free Saab, arguing for “habeas corpus” and presenting his “diplomatic” credentials. Saab’s importance to the Maduro regime goes beyond his trade-based money-laundering mechanisms. He is a financial and logistical architect or “super facilitator” for Venezuela’s strategic ties to the Middle East.

Saab is wanted in the U.S. on money-laundering charges involving hundreds of millions of dollars – but his detention in Cape Verde and his possible extradition to Miami carry big political stakes in Venezuela.
