VIDEO: Moment of Transfer of Maduro in Handcuffs to Court

Nicolas Maduro, the President of Venezuela, was transferred by motorcade and helicopter from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, to the Brooklyn courthouse, where he will be tried alongside his wife, Cilia Flores, on drug trafficking charges. Maduro, accompanied by guards, was transported in an armored van to the court facility. The MDC Brooklyn is known for its harsh detention conditions, which have been denounced by former inmates such as Ghislaine Maxwell and Sean 'Diddy' Combs. The complaints concern unsanitary conditions, lack of heating, and incidents of violence between inmates.
