politician
Nicolas Maduro, the former president of Venezuela, is reported to be in U.S. custody following a special operations raid in January 2026, with charges related to drug trafficking and terrorism pending. He has been publicly active from detention, issuing messages to Venezuelans after earthquakes, publishing photos from prison showing significant weight loss, and communicating with family. His legal team has argued for dismissal of charges based on diplomatic immunity, while his wife has requested release due to health concerns.
