The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on a Venezuelan actress for allegedly using her entertainment career to launder money and support the Tren de Aragua gang. Jimena Araya, also known as "Rosita" for the name of her character in comedy shows "Cheverísimo" and "¡A que te ríes!," is romantically linked to a Tren de Aragua kingpin and helped him escape Venezuelan prison in 2012, the U.S. Treasury said.
