## Resource

A former confidential informant for the U.S. government, Pedro Binaggia, who helped dismantle a massive Venezuela-linked money-laundering scheme, is now in crisis — his visa expired, his family forced to flee to Europe, and the Justice Department failing to honor promises of compensation and green cards. Despite being cleared of any investigation in 2018, prosecutors later offered him only limited immunity in 2023 — a deal he rejected. His lawyer warns: without fair rewards, the U.S. will lose vital insiders needed to crack complex international corruption cases — and the system’s credibility will collapse.
