In an unprecedented international operation, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were arrested early yesterday during a United States military strike in Caracas, and taken to New York to face criminal charges.
The arrest comes amid a sweeping indictment that alleges Maduro, his family, and top government officials orchestrated decades of cocaine trafficking and state-sponsored narco-terrorism.
In announcing the arrest, Secretary of Sate Marco Rubio said the US had saved US$50 million—the reward that was offered for Maduro’s capture.
