when was maduro indicted

Nicolás Maduro was first indicted by U.S. prosecutors in March 2020 on “narco-terrorism” and related cocaine trafficking conspiracy charges in the Southern District of New York.

Key dates

• Initial U.S. indictment: March 2020, when federal prosecutors charged Maduro and several Venezuelan officials with narco-terrorism conspiracy and cocaine importation offenses.

• New/superseding indictment: A new indictment expanding charges against Maduro (and adding his wife, Cilia Flores) was filed and made public in early January 2026 , echoing and updating the 2020 narco-terrorism case.

How people refer to it

When people ask “when was Maduro indicted,” they usually mean the original U.S. narco-terrorism case , which dates to March 2020. More recent news about a “new indictment” is referencing the expanded 2026 charging document that builds on that 2020 case.
