Maduro to appear in court in New York today on drug-related charges

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro will make his first appearance in US federal court this Monday.

Maduro, who was captured by US forces early Saturday in a surprise military operation in Caracas, is now awaiting trial in New York on federal criminal charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy and cocaine importation conspiracy.

The proceeding is scheduled to take place at noon in federal court in Manhattan before U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein.

Maduro's wife, Cilia Flores, was also captured by the US military and also faces federal criminal charges, including conspiracy to import cocaine.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said Saturday in a social media post that Maduro and Flores will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.

The Justice Department accuses Maduro and other Venezuelan leaders of using their positions in government to facilitate the importation of cocaine into the U.S. over more than two decades./CNA
