YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Nicolás Maduro had already spent more than 24 hours in one of the toughest US jails before he arrived in Manhattan Monday to face charges that could keep him behind bars for the rest of his life.

The ousted Venezuelan president arrived by helicopter to the heart of New York City on Monday morning ahead of a hearing set for 12 p.m. An official confirmed that Maduro was in the court building in Lower Manhattan shortly after.

He and his his wife, Cilia Flores, joined the approximately 1,330 inmates at the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on Saturday following a surprise night time raid and odyssey that included a US warship, a plane and a helicopter.

A US indictment released on Saturday accused Maduro of playing a key role in a broad conspiracy over 25 years to traffic cocaine into the US. He and others are accused of partnering with groups including the Sinaloa Cartel and Tren de Aragua, which have been designated by the US as foreign terrorist organizations.
