CARACAS, March 20 (Reuters) - Venezuela's President
Nicolas Maduro said on Monday he has accepted the resignation of
oil minister Tareck El Aissami amid a widespread corruption
probe focused on state-run oil company PDVSA, local judges and
other government officials.
Maduro did not reveal who will replace El Aissami, a
powerful political figure who has served as vice president,
minister and mayor in the last two decades.
