Maduro and His Wife to Face ‘Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy’ Charges in New York, U.S. Attorney General Says
U.S. forces conducted a large-scale strike capturing Maduro and his wife; Maduro faces charges including narco-terrorism in New York amid international controversy.
- On Saturday, United States forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, took them aboard the USS Iwo Jima, and placed Maduro in US custody in Manhattan.
- After months of intelligence monitoring since August, US officials targeted Maduro for alleged narcotics trafficking, with a superseding indictment accusing him of abusing public office to import tons of cocaine over 25 years.
- Months of rehearsals culminated in a helicopter insertion and multiservice air cover using a replica of Maduro's residence, with more than 150 US military aircraft and helicopters flying at 100 feet, landing near Caracas at 2:01 am.
- An in-person arraignment is expected Monday or Tuesday, with Elie Honig saying Maduro will be treated as an ordinary defendant and likely held at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn.
- International reaction ranged from UN Security Council requests to protests overseas, and analysts flagged oil-market effects, with Bloomberg Economics noting a 4% potential price drop.
