SAEDNEWS: Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro Arrested by U.S. Forces on Drug Trafficking and Corruption Charges
According to the political news service of SaedNews, in a stunning development that has shocked the world, the U.S. Department of Justice today (January 4, 2026) released the first official photographs of Nicolás Maduro following his arrest and transfer to U.S. soil.
The images, taken at the Miami federal detention center, show Maduro in a blue prison uniform, handcuffed, with a weary expression on his face.
Maduro, long sought by U.S. authorities on charges related to cocaine trafficking and support for terrorist organizations, was arrested yesterday in a joint operation between U.S. special forces and Venezuelan allies in Caracas. His transfer to the United States was carried out under strict security measures, and he is now awaiting trial in a federal court in Florida.
Maduro’s deputy described the arrest as “illegal” and “an interference in Venezuela’s internal affairs,” calling for his immediate release.
