Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro made an appearance in a US federal courtroom in Manhattan yesterday, claiming he had been kidnapped and was being held as a ‘prisoner of war’. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, pleaded not guilty to the four charges in a US indictment released on Saturday, shortly after their detainment from their Caracas compound. The indictment accuses Maduro, Flores, and other Venezuelan officials of ‘narco-terrorism’ and the transportation of drugs and weaponry to the US. The charges include narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices against the US. Maduro maintains his innocence and still claims the presidency of Venezuela.
