Ousted Venezuelan president and his wife arrived at a New York courthouse on Monday (Tuesday AEDT) where they will be indicted.
Maduro was handcuffed and surrounded by heavily armoured federal agents and NYPD police officers as he was taken from his prison cell in Brooklyn to be transported to the court precinct in Lower Manhattan.
An armoured car carrying Maduro and his wife arrived at the courthouse about 7.45am on Monday. Scores of heavily armed DEA officers and NYPD cops swarmed the streets as the transfer took place.
