Its long been illegal to benefit from your spouses crimes.

Calling a dictator’s spouse uninvolved ignores how authoritarian power works. When crimes are public and systemic, knowingly benefiting from the ruler’s wealth and privilege while offering loyalty or silence helps sustain the system, and the law already recognizes this by treating knowing benefit and facilitation as culpable even without direct action.

Ps> re: maduro's capture. in history only three things have hiatorically stopped a dictator:1 self destruction, 2 people rising up or 3 another country.
