The U.S. government has released official images showing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in custody following his capture and transfer to the United States after a military-led operation in Venezuela.
The photographs, shared by U.S. authorities, show Maduro surrounded by federal agents after his plane landed at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York. In the images, he is seen in handcuffs under close supervision by law enforcement officers.
Earlier photos shared by former President Donald Trump reportedly showed Maduro blindfolded and handcuffed aboard the U.S. Navy ship USS Iwo Jima during his transfer to the United States to face federal charges.
Officials state that after arriving in New York, Maduro was transported by helicopter to Manhattan. He is expected to be held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while awaiting prosecution on charges that include narco-terrorism and conspiracy.
