Caracas has accused Argentina’s leader of illegally handing over a “stolen” cargo plane to the US

Caracas has opened a criminal investigation of Argentine President Javier Milei over the handing over of a seized Venezuelan cargo plane to the US.

The dispute between the two South American countries stems from the fate of the Emtrasur Boeing 747-300FM, which was initially purchased from Iran’s Mahan Air. In August 2022, the Argentine authorities seized the aircraft at the request of the US. Washington had previously blacklisted Mahan Air as part of export restrictions placed on Iran.
