Nicolás Maduro, the former president of Venezuela, is currently in a New York jail where he awaits trial on serious criminal charges, including drug trafficking.
In addition to these charges, Maduro is now facing a lawsuit in the US related to alleged extrajudicial killings, further complicating his legal situation.
The US military had previously removed him from office in January during an extraordinary operation in Venezuela, which has led to ongoing legal repercussions for him.
