A Turkish national, Taskin Torlak, was arrested in Miami while attempting to travel back to Turkey, accused of conspiring to illegally trade Venezuelan oil and violating U.S. sanctions. He allegedly led a scheme since November 2020 to sell oil from Venezuela and Iran by disguising the origins of the shipments and evading detection by U.S. authorities. Torlak is charged with conspiring against the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and received significant payments from Venezuela's state oil company in the process.
