联合王国自2018年以来以委内瑞拉冻结的黄金持有1.4bn英镑,在合法性争端不断的情况下尚未解决。 UK holds £1.4bn in frozen Venezuelan gold since 2018, unresolved amid ongoing legitimacy disputes.

英格兰银行持有大约31吨委内瑞拉黄金, 价值约1.4bn英镑, 自2018年起冻结, The Bank of England holds about 31 tonnes of Venezuelan gold, worth roughly £1.4bn, frozen since 2018 due to disputes over President Nicolás Maduro’s legitimacy. 英国尚未承认马杜罗政府, 担心金子能资助他的政府。 The UK has not recognized Maduro’s government, fearing the gold could fund his administration. 委内瑞拉于2020年以大流行病需求为由起诉索回黄金, 而反对党领袖Guan Guaidó也声称拥有权力, Venezuela sued in 2020 to reclaim the gold, citing pandemic needs, while opposition leader Juan Guaidó also claimed authority, leading to a prolonged legal battle. 虽然联合王国曾经承认Guaidó,但自那时以来,其立场发生了变化。 Though the UK once recognized Guaidó, it has since shifted stance. 尽管马杜罗最近被捕，德尔西·罗德里格斯采取了新的和解政策，英国仍未承认现任政府，黄金释放问题未解决。 Despite Maduro’s recent capture and a new conciliatory approach by Delcy Rodríguez, the UK still does not recognize the current administration, keeping the gold’s release unresolved.
