Bondi defeats drug cartels: New priorities in the Ministry of Justice!
The new US Justice Minister Pam Bondi has made a dramatic change of course in the US judiciary. As vienna.at , the task force "kleptocapture", which was created to combat corrupt Russian oligarchs, was dissolved. This unit was originally intended to assert the sanctions introduced from 2022 after the Russian attack on Ukraine. Bondi said that the strategic priorities of the authority would now focus on combating drug cartels and transnational criminal organizations. In a memo, she announced that a fundamental change in the way of thinking and procedure was necessary to effectively tackle these threats.

In addition, with the dissolution of the "Foreign Influence Task Force", the criminal measures to combat foreign election infection were drastically restricted. Bondi justified this step in releasing resources for more urgent tasks and reducing the risk of abuse of the public prosecutor. According to information from cnn , this decision led to the criminal prosecution of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) to be restricted. As a result, the investigation of violations of the law, which has played a role in investigations against Trump confidants in recent years, could be significantly more difficult.Another important measure by Bondi is the resumption of the death penalty at the federal level after a moratorium had previously been introduced under the bidet government. In addition, a new task force will be launched, which should deal with the attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023. These changes clearly show that Bondi is reorganizing the priorities of the Ministry of Justice in a way that aims at the immediate interests of the Trump administration.
