Maduro's Legal Troubles and Charges

As head of state, he has immunity.

Meanwhile, Maduro and his wife have pleaded not guilty to cocaine importation,

conspiracy, and weapons charges.

Maduro has also been charged with narcoterrorism conspiracy.

During an earlier hearing, the deposed

dictator called himself a, quote, prisoner of war.

And his lawyers argued that he had been kidnapped, not extradited,

because the US doesn't have jurisdiction

over Venezuela's leader.

Now, the prosecution maintains that how Maduro was captured is irrelevant,

because he was a drug trafficker shipping drugs into the US that gives the US every

right to seek justice.
