The United States government has seized an oceanfront mansion in the Dominican Republic reportedly linked to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, as part of a broader asset forfeiture operation totaling more than US$700 million, Diario Libre reports.
The property, known as Villa La Caracola, is located in the upscale Cap Cana resort area in the eastern Punta Cana tourism area. As reported, the location was confirmed to Fox News by US Special Prosecutor Pamela Bondi.
The US government has established a bounty of US$50 million for information that would lead to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
As reported, the Cap Cana property is one of 3,000 square meters of living space on a 6,000-square-meter lot. The mansion boasts nine bedrooms —each with its own en-suite bathroom and private terrace— as well as ten bathrooms, a formal dining room, a gourmet kitchen, multiple terraces, a palapa, and an infinity-edge pool.
The home’s standout features include two primary suites with balconies overlooking the Caribbean Sea, a semi-covered bar, a gazebo, and expansive dining and living areas.
The exclusive Cap Cana community also offers high-end amenities such as a helipad, restaurants, shops, gyms, spas, cycling paths, a church, and 24-hour security.
Diario Libre reports that images of the estate have been largely scrubbed from the internet, with only a few low-resolution photos circulating — most notably an aerial view that has been widely shared.
