"Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is due to appear before a US federal judge on Monday, after US forces seized him and his wife from their residence in a military base in Caracas. The US had already charged Maduro and other Venezuelan top officials with narco-terrorism conspiracy in 2020."
"On Saturday, following Maduro's dramatic arrest, the US Justice Department released a new indictment of him and his wife. It described his administration as a "corrupt, illegitimate government" that it said was fueled by a drug-trafficking operation that allegedly flooded the US with cocaine. Monday is set to mark Maduro's first appearance in Manhattan's federal court."
