Former Republican Miami Congressman Arrested In Ongoing Venezuela Oil Investigation

  • Marlene Rodriguez, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami, told The Associated Press that authorities arrested Rivera at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Monday.
  • However, Rodriguez could not discuss the charges for Rivera due to a sealed indictment by a Miami grand jury last month, which included other defendants.
  • Rivera, 57, appeared in an Atlanta federal court following his arrest but bailed out of jail later in the afternoon, according to the U.S. Marshal’s Service reported by local media.
