The United States (US) government arrested Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday (3/1/2026).

According to a press release from the US presidential office, The White House, Maduro's arrest is part of the US's efforts to combat drug trafficking.

"We are at war with drug trafficking organizations, not at war with Venezuela," said US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, in a press release on Sunday (4/1/2026).

"Maduro is not only a convicted drug trafficker, he is an illegitimate president," Marco said.

Meanwhile, according to a report by Transparency International (TI), Venezuela is among the most corrupt countries in the world.

TI measures the corruption index based on surveys of experts and business executives.

The survey covers their perceptions of bribery, management of public funds, nepotism, abuse of office, government integrity, and legal protection for journalists, whistleblowers, and corruption investigators in a country.

The survey results are then formulated into a score on a scale of 0 to 100 points. The lower the score, the worse the corruption in a country is assumed to be.

Using this method, Venezuela only achieved a score of 10 out of 100 points in 2024.

This score placed Venezuela 178th out of 180 countries surveyed, making it the 3rd most corrupt in the world.

Here is a list of the 11 countries with the lowest corruption index scores, or the worst corruption on a global scale in 2024:

1. South Sudan: 8 (out of 100 points)

2. Somalia: 9

3. Venezuela: 10

4. Syria: 12

5. Yemen: 13

6. Libya: 13

7. Eritrea: 13

8. Equatorial Guinea: 13

9. Nicaragua: 14

10. Sudan: 15

11. North Korea: 15
