Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured by U.S. forces and flown to New York following U.S. military action in Caracas, U.S. officials said. Video released by authorities showed Maduro in custody as agents led him through a secured area.

Prosecutors unsealed charges accusing Maduro of narco-terrorism conspiracy, conspiracy to import cocaine into the United States, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess those weapons.

U.S. officials said the couple was initially held aboard a U.S. naval vessel before being transferred to New York. Maduro is expected to make an initial appearance in Manhattan federal court on Monday, according to a Justice Department official.
