Maduro, the Venezuelan president, faces federal criminal charges including narco-terrorism conspiracy and cocaine importation conspiracy. He is currently awaiting trial in New York City.

Cilia Flores, Maduro's wife, was also seized by the U.S. military and faces similar federal criminal charges, including conspiracy to import cocaine. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated on social media Saturday that Maduro and Flores "will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American s."

The capture of Maduro and Flores occurred during a surprise military operation in Caracas. The U.S. government has not yet released specific details regarding the operation.

The legal proceedings against Maduro and Flores are expected to have significant implications for U.S.-Venezuela relations, which have been strained for years. The situation also creates uncertainty regarding the leadership of Venezuela.

The case will likely involve complex legal arguments related to international law, extradition treaties, and the scope of U.S. jurisdiction over foreign leaders. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York is prosecuting the case. Further details regarding the evidence against Maduro and Flores are expected to be presented during the court appearance on Monday.
