"Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, who dined on steak and lived in a palace as his country starved, is now in "hell on Earth'' in a Brooklyn jail - and machine-gun-toting authorities are making sure he stays there. Maduro, 63, and his 69-year-old fellow-inmate wife Cilia were thrown into separate cells in solitary confinement away from the general population at the infamous federal Metropolitan Detention Center since their extraordinary capture by elite US forces in Caracas early Saturday."
"'The worst prison in the United States is a mansion compared to the prisons and holes where people have been tortured for years in Venezuela. So this is the least they deserve,' said Gabriel Bonilla, a Venezuelan comedian who fled to Argentina in 2017, to The Post on Sunday, referring to the Maduros. At least four heavily armored law-enforcement members draped in military gear"
"Maduro - who lived in Venezuela's opulent presidential palace and famously publicly chomped on a gourmet steak dinner i n Istanbul in 2018, infuriating his struggling countrymen - will be waiting for trial in a joint once sued over its alleged maggot-infested food, dirty cells and frequent power outages."
Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia were captured in Caracas and transferred to the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where both were placed in separate solitary cells away from the general population. Heavy security, including armored officers armed with M4 machine guns, patrolled the facility and surrounding streets as protesters gathered on both sides. Maduro faces a Manhattan federal arraignment and could be moved under extraordinary measures, possibly affecting local crossings. The MDC has housed high-profile inmates and has faced lawsuits over alleged maggot-infested food, dirty cells and frequent power outages, a stark contrast to Maduro's prior opulent lifestyle.
