The Cartel de los Soles is a term used to describe criminal networks of drug trafficking and corruption within the Bolivarian National Armed Forces of Venezuela, allegedly emerging in the early 1990s. It involves high-ranking military and political officials, including Nicolás Maduro and Diosdado Cabello, accused by the United States of leading the network. The organization is not a traditional cartel but a series of disconnected cells within the Venezuelan military. The Venezuelan government denies the allegations, and some experts question its existence.
