Venezuelan President Maduro brought to New York.

After arresting Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, the US government will prosecute them in New York. Let us tell you that America has brought Nicolas Maduro to New York after capturing him under Operation Absolute Resolve on Saturday morning. Earlier, US Attorney General Pamela Bondi had tweeted that Maduro and his wife have been charged in the Southern District of New York.

In fact, the plane carrying Venezuelan President Maduro, who was arrested in the US action on Venezuela, has reached New York. Maduro will now have to face legal action and interrogation in America. According to the US administration, he faces serious charges related to drug smuggling and organized crime.

The plane carrying Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, has landed at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York following their capture in a large-scale US military strike in Caracas, Venezuela.

America attacks Venezuela

America launched massive attacks on Venezuela and captured the country’s President Nicolas Maduro and brought him to New York. Maduro and his wife were captured at night from their home near the military base. US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that America is now assessing the next steps for Venezuela. He said that we will be fully involved in this. We cannot afford for someone else to take charge.

The legal authorization for the attack and whether Trump had consulted Congress beforehand were not immediately clear. This shocking, swift US military action to remove a country’s current leader from office is reminiscent of the US invasion of Panama in 1990. During the attack on Panama, its leader Manuel Antonio Noriega surrendered and was captured.

America did not recognize Maduro

The US government does not recognize Maduro, who last appeared on state television on Friday meeting a delegation of Chinese officials in Caracas. Maduro and other Venezuelan officials were indicted on ‘narco-terrorism’ conspiracy charges in 2020, but the Justice Department on Saturday issued a new indictment against Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores, accusing them of playing a role in a narco-terrorism conspiracy.

Will have to face criminal charges

US Attorney General Pam Bondi has said that ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores will face criminal charges after being indicted in New York. The couple will soon face American justice in American courts on American soil, Bondi said in a post on social media.

Blindfolded photo goes viral

Trump had posted on his social media account a photo taken on a plane of Maduro blindfolded and wearing a tracksuit. Before this, several sounds of explosions were heard and planes flying at low altitude passed over the capital Caracas. Maduro’s government immediately accused America of attacking civilian and military installations. The Venezuelan government called it an imperialist attack and called on citizens to take to the streets.

The attack lasted less than 30 minutes and at least seven explosions occurred during this time, forcing people to flee into the streets. At the same time, others shared information about the situation on social media. Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez said that some Venezuelan civilians and military personnel were killed, although he did not give any numbers.
