Venezuela supreme court approves extradition request to Italy for ex-oil
czar

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's supreme court said on Friday it had
approved a request to Italy for the extradition of Rafael Ramirez, a
once powerful oil minister and former head of state oil company
Petroleos de Venezuela, on corruption charges.

Authorities opened a probe into Ramirez over alleged graft in late 2017
and sought an Interpol red alert for him in early 2018, shortly after he
left his later post as Venezuela's United Nations ambassador and began
publicly criticizing President Nicolas Maduro's handling of the economy,
which remains in freefall.
