  1. The managers of Kraft Heinz's Venezuelan operations may be imprisoned if found committing "sabotage", President Nicolas Maduro said on state television Tuesday night. The latest move against a multinational company in Venezuela comes days before legislative elections in which the ruling Socialist Party is expected to lose its majority in the National Assembly for the first time in a decade and a half. It is not the first time the president has rallied against business leaders and ordered their imprisonment, following in the footsteps of his predecessor Hugo Chavez who expropriated small to multinational business operations in Venezuela.
