The United States sanctioned Alfonzo and three others on 4 September 2020, accusing them of facilitating the Maduro government's efforts to undermine the independence and democratic order of Venezuela. According to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, he said that "the corrupt Maduro regime is attempting to seize control of the National Assembly of Venezuela through a fraudulent election.”[8] The sanctions were announced as the country prepares the National Assembly elections on 6 December, which opposition parties consider it fraudulent and announced their boycott.[9]
