Venezuelan State Oil Firm Challenges $217 Million Asset Garnishment in U.S. Court

In a significant legal motion, Venezuela’s state-owned oil company has requested that a Florida federal court vacate orders to garnish its assets. This request stems from a $217 million judgment related to the state-sponsored murder of a lawyer. The company contends that it was not properly served in the case and distanced itself from the political influence of Nicolás Maduro’s government. This legal battle surfaces amid broader implications for international corporate and sovereign asset disputes.
