Share via WhatsApp
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is currently in US custody following a capture operation carried out by US authorities. Reports indicate a CIA team was involved in the operation, which culminated in Maduro being escorted off a plane in handcuffs. Video footage has emerged showing Maduro inside a US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) office, where a moment described as a ‘happy new year’ exchange occurred.
The circumstances surrounding Maduro’s capture remain largely unclear, but it is believed to be linked to drug trafficking allegations. The move has been met with strong reactions globally, with some labeling it an ‘act of war.’ New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has reportedly spoken with former President Donald Trump regarding potential US military action in Venezuela following the capture. Photos circulating show public reactions to the event, ranging from shock to celebration. Details regarding the legal proceedings and potential extradition of Maduro are currently unavailable.
