Add The New York Times on GoogleAgrega The New York Times en Google U.S. Special Forces brought down President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro of Venezuela swiftly and publicly.Now, the people who kept him in power are being purged gradually and inconspicuously. Some have been fired or detained, and others are anxiously looking over their shoulders, worried they might be next.Oligarchs close to Mr. Maduro\u2019s family have been snatched from their homes. His political allies have been summarily removed from their posts. His relatives have been sidelined from business deals and barred from media appearances.The housecleaning is being carried out by Mr. Maduro\u2019s former vice president, Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, who is running the country under instructions from the Trump administration. The detentions and leadership purges have unfolded without public explanation, but often with the approval \u2014 and sometimes at the urging \u2014 of the White House, according to people close to Ms. Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s government.After Mr. Maduro was dragged off in January to a New York jail, Ms. Rodr\u00edguez presented herself as a reluctant and temporary stand-in for a fallen leader, denouncing his capture as an illegal attack on her country.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTBut now, with Mr. Maduro gone, she is dismantling his ruling coterie and embarking on the largest redistribution of power in Venezuela in decades.ImageNicol\u00e1s Maduro, the ousted leader of Venezuela, and his wife, Cilia Flores, before their arraignment in New York City in January.Credit...Vincent Alban\/The New York TimesThe overhaul of national leadership, combined with sweeping new laws and her alliance with President Trump, is reshaping Venezuela and its management of one of the planet\u2019s largest oil reserves, just as the world grapples with the energy turmoil caused by war in the Middle East.In the three months since Mr. Maduro\u2019s capture, Ms. Rodr\u00edguez has changed 17 ministers, replaced military commanders and installed new diplomats. She has also overseen the detention of at least three businessmen tied to Mr. Maduro, fired several of his relatives and cut off most of his family from oil contracts.In their places, she has appointed her own loyalists or championed businessmen beholden to her, while opening the doors to American oil and mining investors.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTThe changes have brought little transparency or pluralism to a government that remains authoritarian. Venezuela\u2019s opposition says that rather than returning the country to democracy, Ms. Rodr\u00edguez is solidifying her rule.But she is hardly making all decisions on her own. After capturing Mr. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in an overwhelming show of force, the Trump administration threatened to attack Venezuela again if the new leaders refused to cooperate. Several senior Venezuelan officials and government insiders have likened Ms. Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s rule to governing with a gun to her head.Ms. Rodr\u00edguez is now using that threat of U.S. coercion to go after ruling party power brokers once considered untouchable. The result has been a political win for Mr. Trump and Ms. Rodr\u00edguez, allowing U.S. officials to settle scores with Maduro allies who had defied them, while simultaneously cementing Ms. Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s leadership.Venezuela\u2019s transformation from U.S. adversary to a protectorate has been head spinning for most Venezuelans.Polls show a large majority of Venezuelans welcome the end of Mr. Maduro\u2019s 13-year autocratic reign, which he enforced through violence, corruption and electoral fraud.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTMany also remain skeptical of Ms. Rodr\u00edguez, a longtime official of the governing Socialist Party who has never held elected office.ImageA demonstration in January outside a federal courthouse in New York City in support of Mr. Maduro\u2019s ouster.Credit...Karsten Moran for The New York TimesBut for Mr. Maduro\u2019s friends, business associates and governing party companions, the new political landscape has ushered in an unfamiliar swirl of anxiety and danger.More than a dozen spoke with The New York Times on the condition of anonymity, fearing reprisal. Some said they had been placed under surveillance by Venezuela\u2019s secret police since Mr. Maduro\u2019s ouster. Others said they had tried to stay out of Caracas, the capital, and have considered exile.The Venezuelan government did not respond to questions for this article. A White House spokeswoman, Anna Kelly, said the Trump administration had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Rodr\u00edguez government.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT\u201cWe are dealing very well with President Delcy Rodr\u00edguez,\u201d Ms. Kelly said. \u201cOil is starting to flow, and large amounts of money, unseen for many years, will soon be greatly helping the people of Venezuela.\u201dThe people who lost out from Mr. Maduro\u2019s downfall are part of a disparate group. They include relatives of Mr. Maduro and his predecessor Hugo Ch\u00e1vez, many of whom amassed great wealth in the nearly three decades of their combined rule.They also include businessmen who owe their fortunes to personal ties to the two presidents, as well as veterans of the socialist movement formed by Mr. Ch\u00e1vez in the 1990s, which became known as chavismo.One longtime friend of Mr. Maduro\u2019s broke down in tears in an interview after his capture, calling Mr. Maduro the last bastion of Venezuela\u2019s revolution.ImageA mural of Hugo Ch\u00e1vez, the former Venezuelan president, last year in downtown Caracas.Credit...The New York TimesFew apparatchiks have dared criticize Ms. Rodr\u00edguez publicly, but Mario Silva is one who has. A veteran propagandist, his state television program was canceled after Mr. Maduro\u2019s capture, forcing him to turn to social media or radio graveyard slots.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTLike many pro-government Venezuelan media figures, he built a career promoting official anti-imperialist dogma, only to fall out of favor when the new administration shifted to building a business-friendly, pro-American image.\u201cDamn it, keep following the gringos\u2019 orders, then, go ahead,\u201d Mr. Silva said on his radio show on March 18. \u201cJust prostrate yourself and be done with it.\u201dMr. Maduro\u2019s disparate allies are united by a distrust of Ms. Rodr\u00edguez, who has transformed from a socialist firebrand into Washington\u2019s lauded partner.People close to the deposed president argued that Mr. Maduro had never considered her as his successor, seeing her as a capable manager rather than a leader.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTNor did Mr. Maduro\u2019s inner circle prepare for the possibility that the clash with Mr. Trump could result in a government led by one of their own, the people said. \u201cThe plan was always either everyone falls, or nobody does,\u201d said one senior Maduro official.The apparent ease with which U.S. forces snatched Mr. Maduro from a heavily guarded military base has fueled suspicion that he was betrayed by people who benefited from his downfall.ImageA shattered wall and containers at the La Guaira port in Venezuela, one of the sites that was hit during airstrikes led by the United States in January.Credit...The New York TimesOne senior Venezuelan official, a day after the U.S. attack, said treason had been committed. Officials from Russia, which lost an ally in Mr. Maduro, have made similar claims.The Trump administration had been considering Ms. Rodr\u00edguez as Mr. Maduro\u2019s successor since 2025, and had indirect contact with her. There has been no evidence that she was privy to the U.S. military\u2019s plans, yet that fact has not eased the distrust within the governing party. AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTMs. Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s caretaker post began hours after Mr. Maduro\u2019s capture, on Jan. 3, with a fiery speech denouncing U.S. aggression. A week later, Ms. Rodr\u00edguez led a retinue of power brokers and Cuban officials to commemorate dozens of Cuban and Venezuelan servicemen who died in the American attack.\u201cWe are not handing down a legacy of traitors and cowards,\u201d Ms. Rodr\u00edguez said in a televised speech intended to project unity.Most of those by her side that day have since been cast aside.Mr. Maduro\u2019s longest-serving minister, Gen. Vladimir Padrino L\u00f3pez, was fired as defense minister in March and later given a much less important post running agriculture. Mr. Maduro\u2019s son, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro Guerra, and a son of Ms. Flores, Yosser Gavidia Flores, have been sidelined from lucrative business deals with the state, according to government insiders.ImageNicol\u00e1s Maduro Guerra, the son of Mr. Maduro, is among those who have been sidelined from lucrative business deals with the state.Credit...Alejandro Cegarra for The New York TimesMr. Maduro\u2019s attorney general, Tarek William Saab, was fired, given a consolation post, and then fired again. Camilla Fabri, Mr. Maduro\u2019s immigration envoy, lost her post. Days later, her husband was detained.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTAnd then there\u2019s Cuba\u2019s foreign minister, Bruno Rodr\u00edguez. Since attending Ms. Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s speech, he has watched his country\u2019s decades-long alliance with Venezuela unravel in weeks.As Ms. Rodr\u00edguez has tightened control, the dismissals grew bolder.ImageTarek William Saab, Venezuela\u2019s former attorney general, last year in Caracas.Credit...Alejandro Cegarra for The New York TimesThe first Maduro confidant to fall was Alex Saab, a Colombian-born businessman and Ms. Fabri\u2019s husband, who has made billions from preferential food and oil trade contracts and is under indictment in the United States on corruption-related charges.On Jan. 16, Ms. Rodr\u00edguez wrote on social media that Mr. Saab was no longer Venezuela\u2019s industry minister, thanking him \u201cfor his service to the Fatherland\u201d and saying he would \u201cassume new responsibilities.\u201dTwo weeks later, Mr. Saab was detained. American officials and Ms. Rodr\u00edguez are now negotiating his fate, which includes potential extradition to the United States. AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTPeople close to Ms. Rodr\u00edguez said she had overseen the detention of two other prominent businessmen close to Mr. Maduro\u2019s family: Ra\u00fal Gorr\u00edn and Wilmer Ruperti. Mr. Gorr\u00edn also faces a corruption-related indictment in the United States. Mr. Saab\u2019s lawyer declined to comment. Legal representatives for Mr. Ruperti and Mr. Gorr\u00edn did not respond to requests for comment.ImageAlex Saab, center, in 2024 in Caracas.Credit...Alejandro Cegarra for The New York TimesMs. Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s administration has neither commented on the detentions nor announced any charges, leaving Mr. Maduro\u2019s allies to speculate who might be next.Ms. Rodr\u00edguez in March widened the purge to the armed forces, firing Venezuela\u2019s entire military leadership, including General Padrino L\u00f3pez, once considered one of Venezuela\u2019s most powerful men.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTOne Venezuelan general said that many see the dismissals of senior commanders as the start of a much deeper, U.S.-guided overhaul of Venezuela\u2019s armed forces.People close Ms. Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s government said she had coordinated some replacements with the Trump administration. U.S. officials, they said, have also pressured her to go after American adversaries like Mr. Gorr\u00edn and Mr. Saab.Ms. Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s allies include younger chavistas with weaker connections to the movement\u2019s roots. Some are scions of the governing party\u2019s aristocracy more interested in the fruits of a market economy than in maintaining Mr. Chavez\u2019s legacy.ImageVenezuela\u2019s now former defense minister, Gen. Vladimir Padrino L\u00f3pez, in September in Caracas.Credit...Adriana Loureiro Fernandez for The New York TimesMs. Rodr\u00edguez has also found willing enforcers in Venezuela\u2019s security forces who have pledged their allegiance, hoping to avoid retribution for decades of human rights abuses. Her new defense minister is Gen. Gustavo Gonz\u00e1lez L\u00f3pez, Venezuela\u2019s former head of secret police, who was placed under sanction by the Obama administration for crushing protests.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTSome former government opponents have been lured by career opportunities. Venezuela\u2019s new envoy to North America and Europe, Oliver Blanco, had worked as personal assistant to an opposition leader. The winners of Ms. Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s economic restructuring include Venezuela\u2019s traditional economic elites, who once sided with the opposition but made peace with chavismo. Their bet on stability over democracy has given them access to foreign markets and the U.S. banking system.Western investors are other beneficiaries. They have recently been descending on Caracas\u2019s luxury hotels searching for bargain assets in the oil, mining and tourism industries.Only one senior minister in Mr. Maduro\u2019s government remains in his post: Diosdado Cabello, the interior minister who oversaw the governing party\u2019s repression apparatus.Mr. Cabello is wanted by the United States on drug-trafficking charges and had clashed with Ms. Rodr\u00edguez in the past. But his connections to armed pro-government groups have also made him a valuable ally \u2014 and a risky target.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTTo hang on to power, Mr. Cabello has recast himself, from ruling party pit bull to a patriotic guarantor of stability.ImageDiosdado Cabello, Venezuela\u2019s interior minister, welcoming a flight bringing Venezuelan migrants from Mexico last year.Credit...The New York Times\u201cLet\u2019s accompany our sister Delcy,\u201d Mr. Cabello said at a government rally. \u201cLet\u2019s confide completely in the ability, work ethic and conscience of comrade Delcy.\u201dHis adaptation has so far borne fruit. Mr. Cabello\u2019s cousin and brother have kept their government jobs running Venezuela\u2019s secret police and tax service. His daughter is Venezuela\u2019s new tourism minister.Inside the governing party, most officials have adapted, jettisoning their avowed anti-imperialism for a chance to stay in power.One senior official said his colleagues did not trust Ms. Rodr\u00edguez, but felt they had no choice.\u201cWe need her, and she needs us,\u201d another said.Sheyla Urdaneta contributed reporting from Buenos Aires, and Tyler Pager from Washington.Anatoly Kurmanaev covers\u00a0Venezuela and its interim government.A version of this article appears in print on April 19, 2026, Section A, Page 1 of the New York edition with the headline: Venezuela, With U.S. Prodding, Quietly Purges Maduro\u2019s People.
