Venezuela's government has announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to the capture of Edmundo González Urrutia, an opposition leader who claims to have defeated President Nicolás Maduro in the presidential election held on July 28 of the previous year. González Urrutia, accused of conspiracy, money laundering, and inciting unrest, fled to Spain in September and has been granted political asylum there. He plans to return to Venezuela on January 10 to assume the presidency, coinciding with Maduro's scheduled inauguration for his third term.
