Interesting. I'm curious what happened to who sold them the plane though. Anyone seen anything on that piece of the equation?

"The Justice Department today announced the seizure of a Dassault Falcon 900EX aircraft owned and operated for the benefit of Nicolás Maduro Moros and persons affiliated with him in Venezuela. The aircraft was seized in the Dominican Republic and transferred to the Southern District of Florida at the request of the United States based on violations of U.S. export control and sanctions laws." #news

Also, I was curious as to what sanctions they were evading and came across this primer on everything we've hit #Venezuela with. It's no wonder they're desperately trying to get into BRICS.
