U.S. Indictment and ‘Narco-Terrorism’ Allegations

Attorney General Pamela Bondi said Maduro has been indicted in the Southern District of New York on multiple drug-related charges.

“They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts,” Bondi said.

Federal prosecutors have accused Maduro since 2020 of leading a “narco-terrorism conspiracy” with Colombian rebel groups to smuggle cocaine into the United States. A federal indictment unsealed Saturday alleges Maduro was “at the forefront” of an operation that imported tons of cocaine while allowing “cocaine-fueled corruption to flourish.”
