The journalists' interlocutors claim that the raid on Maduro's bedroom “in the middle of the night” was carried out by special forces from the elite US Army Delta unit.
Maduro and his wife were “dragged from their bedroom” by US troops as they slept.
According to CNN, the special operation to capture Maduro did not result in casualties among US citizens.
The media found out that Maduro and Flores are being taken to New York to face charges in Manhattan federal court.
US President Donald Trump later announced that Maduro and his wife were being transported to New York aboard the aircraft carrier USS Iwo Jima.
Earlier today, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that Maduro was charged in the Southern District of New York with conspiracy to commit narcoterrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine, illegal possession of machine guns and explosive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and explosive devices against the United States.
“They will soon face the full rigors of American justice on American soil in American courts,” Bondi wrote on social media.
