Nicolás Maduro is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York , in U.S. federal custody.

What happened to Maduro?

What is he facing?

  • U.S. officials say Maduro is in custody to stand trial on federal criminal charges, including long-standing U.S. indictments related to narcotics and corruption.
  • He is expected to appear in federal court in New York, with his detention at MDC Brooklyn serving as pretrial holding.
