Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro was captured alongside his wife by US forces during a high-stakes military operation Saturday morning, leaving the South American country in a constitutional crisis.
Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has also fled to Russia. Meanwhile, Maduro’s son Nicholas Ernesto Maduro Guerra, who’s known as “The Prince,” is being charged alongside his parents for the illegal trafficking of thousands of tons of cocaine.
Venezuelan dictator seen in handcuffs in first picture aboard USS Iwo Jima to NYC for indictment
The first photo of deposed Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was released by President Donald Trump.
Maduro appeared blindfolded, wearing soundproof headphones, handcuffed, clasping a plastic bottle of water, wearing a Nike sweatsuit and standing aboard the US Navy’s Iwo Jima on his way to New York where he will be prosecuted on narco-terrorism charges.
One mostly cropped-out law enforcement officer stands next to Maduro on the ship, appearing to hold his arm.
The image was shared by President Trump on his platform Truth Social amidst several online fake arrest photos going viral.
Not pictured was Maduro’s wife, Cilia Flores, who was also arrested and charged in the narco-terrorism scheme and is also being extradited to the Southern District of New York to face justice.
