A flight carrying deposed Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia, arrived in New York on Saturday evening, where the couple will face charges of narco-terrorism, drug-trafficking and more.
The flight was seen touching down at the Stewart International Airport just south of Poughkeepsie, which houses a military airfield.
Saturday evening’s arrival comes just over 12 hours after Maduro was captured in a daring raid carried out by U.S. special forces operators in conjunction with federal law enforcement. Several Venezuelan military installations were struck in the capital city of Caracas and surrounding states in order to support ground forces and create diversions for their exits.
Upon landing, ground forces quickly snatched up the couple before they could retreat to a safe room, though U.S. officials expressed confidence that they would have been able to extract them even if they had made it to the room. The raid was executed without any U.S. fatalities or downed aircraft.
