Deposed Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro is scheduled to appear in Manhattan federal court Thursday for proceedings in his "narco-terrorism" case following his capture by US military forces in January. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were taken into custody on January 3 during a pre-dawn raid on Caracas that resulted in significant casualties. Both have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
