The plane carrying Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and his wife Cilia Flores, has landed at New York's Stewart Air National Guard Base, APA reports citing CBS.
The plane has touched down on the tarmac, and a number of law enforcement agents have gone aboard.
Now that Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro has landed in New York, he will be flown by helicopter to the Westside Heliport in Manhattan and will be driven to the US Drug Enforcement Administration’s headquarters there for booking, according to US media reports.
From there, he will be taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he is expected to be held before facing drug and weapons charges in Manhattan federal court next week.
The notorious jail, commonly known as MDC, is known for handling many high-profile cases, including rapper R Kelly, Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and, most recently, Sean "Diddy" Combs.
