First Photos of Maduro's Wife After Arrest – Somber in Hoodie and Mask

Following the arrest of Nicolás Maduro by US special forces, the first photos of his wife, Cilia Flores, have emerged. In the photos, Flores appears somber, wearing a hoodie and mask, while surrounded by armed agents. It was her first public appearance since the arrest. Maduro and Flores were transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where they are expected to face charges of narco-terrorism. Flores, who served as President of the National Assembly and a close associate of Maduro, is considered by many to be the real power behind the regime. The relationship between Flores and Maduro began in the early 1990s, while they were working in Hugo Chávez's inner circle. Over the years, their relationship strengthened and they eventually married in 2013. Flores exerted significant influence in Venezuela, advising Maduro on legal and political matters. The arrest of Flores marks a significant shift in the political situation in Venezuela and is expected to have major consequences for the country's future. Her fall, as captured in the photos, symbolizes the collapse of the power she wielded for years.
