Nicolás Maduro, the President of Venezuela, is set to be incarcerated in the same facility that once housed prominent figures like Diddy and Ghislaine Maxwell during their pre-trial periods. The Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn will serve as his holding location.

According to a Fox News insider, Maduro was apprehended in a heavily fortified residence in Venezuela during an early morning operation by U.S. forces. He faces charges including narco-terrorism conspiracy and cocaine importation conspiracy, alongside allegations involving the possession and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices. The indictment extends to implicate his wife and son as well.

MDC Brooklyn has a history of detaining notable individuals such as Ghislaine Maxwell, Sam Bankman-Fried, and Michael Cohen while they awaited their trials.

Interestingly, Maduro’s detention coincides with that of Luigi Mangione, who is accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and is currently awaiting trial at the same facility.

In a recent development, former President Donald Trump posted an image of the captured Venezuelan leader aboard the USS Iwo Jima following military actions in Venezuela, as seen on Truth Social.

Judi Garrett, former assistant director at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, told Fox News Digital she expects Maduro to be held within a Special Housing Unit when he arrives at MDC Brooklyn.

“I would expect [Maduro] would be held in [a Special Housing Unit] at the outset and then moved into one of the “special” units where other high profile individuals have been held,” Garrett said. 

Garrett said MDC Brooklyn has “substantial experience with high profile defendants.”

During an interview on “Fox & Friends Weekend,” President Donald Trump said Maduro got “bum rushed so fast” by American special forces. 

“We waited four days. We were going to do this, four days ago, three days ago, two days ago. And then all of a sudden it opened up, and we said, ‘go,’” Trump said, adding that Maduro was in a “very highly-guarded” house.

“He was in a house that was more like a fortress than a house. It had steel doors. It had what they call a safety space, where it’s, you know, solid steel all around. He didn’t get that space closed. He was trying to get into it, but he got bum rushed so fast that he didn’t get into that,” Trump said. “We were prepared. We had, you know, massive blowtorches and everything else that you need to get through that steel. But we didn’t need it. He didn’t make it to that area of the house.”

Maduro was ultimately captured by the Army’s Delta Force, a U.S. official briefed on the matter told Fox News. 

The source said the CIA provided the intelligence to the Department of War that ultimately helped track down the Venezuelan dictator.
