Maduro seen in handcuffs, wearing a black hoodie
The video from inside the DEA office in Manhattan has been posted on the social media platform X. In this, 63-year-old Maduro is seen wearing handcuffs and a black hooded sweatshirt. He was seen walking in a corridor covered with blue carpet with ‘DEA NYD’ written on it. Here he was seen saying ‘Good Night, Happy New Year’ to the officers.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump had shared a picture of Maduro on Saturday evening, in which he was blindfolded and handcuffed.
Home arrest in Caracas
The US Army carried out an airstrike on Venezuela in the early hours of Saturday. Meanwhile, Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, who were sleeping at their residence in the Fort Tiuna military complex in the capital Caracas, were taken into custody by American soldiers.
Allegations of cocaine smuggling and narco-terrorism
America has accused Maduro of serious allegations of cocaine smuggling, promoting narco-terrorism and rigging in elections. On the basis of these allegations, America planned a change of power in Venezuela. The US Army had surrounded Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea before the action. The US had asked Maduro to step down from power and leave the country, but after his refusal, airstrikes were conducted and he was finally arrested from his home.
