For the Trump Administration to achieve a real transition in Venezuela, sooner or later Diosdado Cabello must face U.S. justice.

He is a regime strongman, complicit with Maduro in exporting drugs and criminals that have poisoned our communities.

When Diosdado is brought to justice, it will be a decisive step toward a democratic transition in Venezuela and the release of all political hostages.

ATTENTION Delcy Rodríguez and Diosdado Cabello — We expect all political prisoners in Venezuela, including all Americans, to be unconditionally released NOW.

🚨NEWS🚨: I was in the courtroom for President #NicolasMaduro of #Venezuela's criminal arraignment in Manhattan today. Below is my play-by-play account of the whole hearing.

BEFORE THE HEARING

11:35 AM: I entered courtroom 26A on the top floor of building. I was seated in the second row (in the second seat from the left) of the right aisle gallery seats, next to the sketch artist. In-house press (who credentialed to the court) placed in the jury box. Many DEA agents were outside. The sketch artist next to me begins sketching the dais, which has a purple textile background behind where the judge sits.

11:39 AM: The government attorneys entered. U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Court Security Officer Rizzuti was in charge of seating/security and ushered everyone around.

11:42 AM: The public enters, as did clerks of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, who also sat in the jury box seats.

11:45 AM: Department of Justice employees with the U.S. Attorney’s Office enter. A press person behind me says: “We’re witness to history.” Several Spanish-speaking foreign press persons were present.

11:50: Courtroom doors close.

11:51 AM: U.S. Marshals Service @USMSManhattan Court Security Officer Rizzuti calls attention to the audience. He instructs everyone to not talk, especially to the defendants. He warns that phone use is prohibited and that the mere sight of a phone will lead to ejection from the courtroom. Some DEA agents wearing agency jackets were seated behind the press. The sketch artist is using binoculars to look at the front.

MADURO ENTERS, HEARING BEGINS

11:59 AM: Maduro enters the courtroom escorted by the USMS. He looks at the galleries and nods thrice with waves, saying “Buenos días” to the seated audience. His arms are rather skinny and his hair has touches of grey. He is wearing a black t-shirt and brown pants over an orange jumpsuit. His wife Cilia Flores also enters and is wearing a black top.

12:00 PM: Senior U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein enters the courtroom. All rise. He says “good morning.” Maduro is wearing headphones. The judge jokes, “There’s an advantage to being short. A lot of electronic equipment hides the judge.”

12:02 PM: The court is called to order by the clerk. Kyle A. Wirshba appears on behalf of the United States. Barry Pollack appears on behalf of Nicolas Maduro. Mark Donnelly appears, pro hac vice (and his motion to appear that way is then granted), on behalf of Cilia Flores. Maduro is wished “good morning” by the judge, and he raises his hand in response. Judge Hellerstein then introduces himself as the judge, whose responsibility is to ensure a “fair trial and fair proceedings.” He then reads a summary of the indictment.

12:07 PM: Maduro rises with his attorney to answer the judge’s question to identify himself by his name. Maduro responds: “My names is Nicolás Maduro Moros, President of the Constitutional Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. On January 3, I was captured at my home in Caracas, Venezuela.” The judge interrupts him to say that there will be a time and place to have the legal sufficiency of Maduro’s circumstances in the United States ascertained. Throughout his appearance in court, Maduro speaks in Spanish and a court-certified translator repeats what he said, addressing the court, in English.

The judge asks Maduro about his indictment, whether he has read it, and if he’d like to have it read out to him in open court. Maduro responds: “I have the indictment in my hand for the first time … I would prefer to read it personally. Before his statement, Mr. Pollard waives reading of the whole indictment.

The judge then reads Maduro his rights, while he is still standing, and asks if Maduro is aware of them. Maduro responds: “I did not know of these rights. Your Honor is telling me for the first time."

12:11 PM: Maduro pleads: “I am innocent. I am not guilty…” and begins making a statement. The judge interrupts him, again, to say that the plea will be recorded as “not guilty.” Mr. Pollard clarifies that he is pleading not guilty to all counts in the indictment.

12:13 PM: The clerk of the court formally arraigns Maduro, which involves a question-and-answer session, for which he is still standing.

The court asks Maduro if he has had the opportunity to confer with counsel, to which he responds: “I have partially spoken to my attorney about this matter.” He also says, “I am innocent. I am not guilty of anything that is mentioned here.”

12:15 PM: Cilia Flores rises. She identifies herself as the “First Lady of the Republic of Venezuela.” She then answers the judge’s questions in the same manner as Maduro, and the process is repeated to her. She waives reading of the indictment. The judge asks her if she has heard her rights – to remain silent, not speak, have anything said be used against her, to have counsel present, and to have government-appointed counsel if she cannot afford her own.

12:16 PM: Flores pleads: “Not guilty. Completely innocent” for counts 2, 3, and 4 of the indictment, which pertain to her.

Thereafter, Mr. Wirshba rises to tell the court that the defendants entered U.S. law enforcement custody at 11:20 AM on January 3, 2026. He states that they entered the State of New York later that day. He states that the defendants are entitled to consular notification, as foreign nationals.

12:19 PM: Maduro responds to the judge’s question about his desire for consular access: “Yes, we understand it, and we would like to have that consular visit.” The judge asks to know when and where the consular visit will take place, and the government says that it will look into the matter.

The judge then quotes the U.S. Supreme Court precedent of Brady v. Maryland (1963) and states that the government must disclose all exculpatory evidence favoring Maduro to the defense. He warns that a consequence of not doing so may be a dismissal of the indictment. The judge also notes that two court-certified interpreters – Berta Hess and Erica de la Rosa Garcia – are present.

Maduro is asked if he understands the interpreters. He responds: “I understand and have been taking notes.” He then states: “I would like to make a request. I ask that my notes be respected and that I be allowed to keep them.” The judge agrees. The government then states that it will work with defense counsel and the U.S. Marshals Service to handle them.

The judge then mentions a letter from the defense counsel regarding pleadings and asks the government to collaborate with them on proposing schedules of pleading. There is agreement between the parties.

12:25 PM: Mr. Pollard rises to state that Maduro is not seeking release at this time, without prejudice to making a future application for doing so. Mr. Donnelly states the same for Cilia.

The judge then asks for pleadings on Rule 16 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, regarding discovery. The government then says that defense counsel has been working with them on the subject and seeks to have 60 days to collaboration before more pleadings. It proposes March 17 as their preferred date for a hearing on the case.

Mr. Pollard says that Maduro is willing to waive his right to a speedy trial until March 17, so that more discovery can occur and a motions schedule may be agreed upon. He adds that Maduro is the head of a sovereign state (Venezuela) and claims he is entitled to privileges and immunities.

The government agrees with the defense’s views on the next hearing date. “Without objection, so ordered,” the judge says, and then asks: “Is there anything else I need to do today?”

The defense counsel says that Maduro and Flores sustained injuries during their apprehension, referring to a possible fracture by Flores on her rib. It asks the court to order an x-ray and evaluation. The judge asks the defense to work with the government on that matter.

THE HEARING ENDS AND MADURO IS HECKLED

12:30 PM: The defense asks for the court’s indulgence (to confer with Maduro) and then says it has "nothing further." At that time, Maduro rises and the U.S. Marshals escorting him approach to handcuff him.

During this time, an audience member in the public galleries (Pedro Rojas, a 33-year-old Venezuelan asylum seeker visiting from Atlanta, Georgia) stands up an says “In the name of the people of Venezuela, you will pay.” Maduro responds: “I am a man of God,” pointing upward as he does so. He also says: “I am the President of Venezuela,” “I am a kidnapped president and prisoner of war." Rojas is scolded by Marshal Rizzuti to stop speaking but is not arrested and later leaves the court to speak with the press.

Maduro is led out, the judge leaves the dais, and the hearing then ends.

[Marjori Haddad @MarjoriHaddad]

Lo más poderoso que he visto estos días es a venezolanos repartidos por todo el mundo explicando la situación, en todos los idiomas posibles.

Gente que emigró, se mezcló con culturas distintas, aprendió a vivir en nuevos contextos… y hoy hacen algo enorme: explican nuestra realidad a gente de cualquier ideología.

No como políticos, sino como testigos.

Hay muchas cosas pasando que nadie conoce realmente en todas sus capas. Y quizá nunca sabremos la verdad, pero la diáspora ya hizo lo suyo 🖤

[Alejo Vidal-Quadras @VidalQuadras]

La primera medida que Washington ha de ordenar a Delcy Rodríguez es la liberación del millar de presos políticos que se pudren en las cárceles del chavismo. La segunda es el regreso sin trabas a Venezuela de Edmundo González, Corina Machado y todos los exiliados. La tercera es la devolución a sus legítimos dueños de todos los bienes confiscados por la dictadura. La cuarta la recuperación de la libertad de expresión, manifestación y asociación. Y todo ello de manera inmediata,

El juez del caso de Maduro y Cilia pide a la fiscalía que revele las pruebas.
Maduro tiene una libreta, toma notas de lo que dice el juez y le pidió llevarse esos papeles a su celda, pero se las quitaron.
Ya terminó la audiencia.
El abogado de Maduro dice que no busca la libertad bajo fianza.
Está tratando de hablar de la supuesta ilegalidad de la detención. Dice que Maduro y Cilia tendrían problemas médicos después de la extracción moretones, lesiones, fracturas en las costillas etc.
"Maduro dijo que era un hombre 'decente y que fue 'secuestrado' en su casa. Se identificó como 'el presidente de Venezuela'.
El abogado de Maduro y Cilia dice que la detención ocurrió en un estado soberano y tratará de alegar que tenían inmunidad.

Maduro "el decente" acumuló 18 mil presos politicos desde 2014. 10 mil torrurados.
La propia Misión de Determinación de hechos de la ONU confirmó en sus informes que tanto el Sebin como la Dgcim los cuerpos de represión de maduro cilia flores y de delcy rodriguez son entidades que funcionan y están organizadas con cadenas de mandos bien establecidas. Las violaciones cometidas responden a ordenes directas impartidas a funcionarios de menor rango por autoridades de más alto nivel, incluyendo al propio Maduro a Diosdado Cabello, y al director general del Sebin y el del Dgcim. Maduro, Diosdado, la propia Delcy Rodríguez la más alta jerarquía del regimen tenían conocimiento, autoridad  control sobre los delitos y violaciones que estaban cometiendo sus subordinados.
Maduro es un criminal multifacetico. Por supuesto, también dirige la red de gran corrupción transnacional que tiene presencia con empresas, propiedades y actividad en 73 países del mundo. Como decía Transparencia Venezuela en la ONU más temprano. En los sistemas de justicia de 30 países se procesan 172 casos todos de gran corrupción, 60% de ellos suma más de 72 mil millones de dólares. Maduro y su familia son el hub de la red donde Petróleos de Venezuela ha sido el instrumento central, involucrada en 90% de los casos de corrupción.
Las organizaciones criminales nacionales e internacionales tienen una relación simbiótica con Maduro, comparten capacidades, utilizando las estructuras del estado para facilitar, soportar, impulsar,  proteger y dirigir las operaciones ilícitas. Las economías ilícitas de oro, drogas, extorsión y trata de personas alcanzaron 15 mil millones de dólares en 2024.
De la producción de oro reportada solo entra al tesoro nacional 20%, el resto va a cuentas privadas de aliados de los miembros del alto regimen
Por eso no hay dinero para mejorar la vida de nadie dentro de Venezuela y tampoco hay dinero para pagar la deuda que hoy suma más de 167 mil millones de dólares. El primer acreedor es China al que aún los venezolanos le debemos más de $15 mil millones de dólares. Con Maduro no hemos recibido ningún beneficio pero lamentablemente si vamos a heredar todas sus deudas y el país en ruinas que nos deja.
De 1000 presos políticos a final de año 86 de esos presos se desconocía el paradero y 26 personas han muerto bajo custodia del Estado durante torturas o por falta de atención médica.

Con delcy rodriguez en el poder esta realidad no va a cambiar, muchos la describen como un ala de la estructura criminal mucho peor que Maduro.

Gracias a Dios que según escritos de 1886 hoy no importaría como Maduro fue arrestado.
La legalidad internacional o diplomatica de la captura es irrelevante para el proceso penal interno. Veremos!

Maduro y Cilia se reencontrarán con el juez en marzo, a menos que sus abogados intenten algo antes.

[Ingrid Betancourt Pulecio @IBetancourtCol]

A quienes quieren mantener las apariencias de legalidad:
Maduro se mantuvo en el poder en Venezuela por la fuerza; solo podía salir por la fuerza. Ha violado abiertamente el derecho internacional. Invocar ese mismo derecho en su defensa es negar al pueblo venezolano el derecho a restablecer su democracia.
