MIAMI AP – Two men accused of being illegal Venezuelan agents trying to cover up a South American political scandal have sued a Miami bank, claiming that their accounts totaling $25 million were summarily closed without permission.
The lawsuit was filed Dec. 7 by Franklin Duran and Carlos Kauffmann, two of the four men jailed on federal charges of failing to register with the U.S. as foreign agents, against Miami-based American Express Bank International.
