Minute30.com .- The Attorney General of the United States, Pamela Bondi, has issued an official statement confirming that Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been formally prosecuted in the Southern District of New York. According to the senior official, both are in federal custody after the successful military operation that extracted them from Venezuela.

Bondi, who thanked the “courage” of President Donald Trump and the bravery of the military forces, was emphatic in pointing out that the accused will have no escape from the North American legal system.

The serious charges against Nicolás Maduro

The charge sheet filed in New York describes a criminal structure with global reach. Maduro has been charged with:

Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy: He is accused of leading the “Cartel of the Suns” in alliance with terrorist groups.

Cocaine Importation Conspiracy: For facilitating the shipment of tons of drugs to the United States.

Possession of Machine Guns and Destructive Devices: Charges related to the use of war weapons to protect drug trafficking operations.

Weapons conspiracy against the US: Crimes seeking to punish the use of organized violence to undermine US national security.

“Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores will soon face the full wrath of American justice, on American soil and before American courts,” Bondi said through his official channels.

From Miraflores to the Southern District of New York

This announcement marks a point of no return. The mention of the Southern District of New York (SDNY) is key, since it is the same court that has prosecuted figures such as the “Flores nephews” and other senior leaders of Chavismo in the past. The initial presentation hearing is expected to take place in the next few hours, where Maduro will formally hear the charges against him.

Reaction of the international community

The recognition of the capture by the Department of Justice (DOJ) eliminates any doubt about the veracity of the “Southern Spear” operation.

World leaders have begun to react, while in cities like Medellín, the Venezuelan community celebrates in the streets what they consider the beginning of the end of impunity for the leadership that governed Venezuela for more than a decade.
