Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has released a pair of photos from his current confinement at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, two months after his arrest. The images, posted on his X account, show Maduro in sportswear making a victory sign, accompanied by a message addressed to his grandchildren and supporters.
The photos, which were taken on June 25, 2026, were confirmed to be authentic by sources close to Maduro but have not been verified by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Maduro's release of the images comes amid ongoing legal proceedings and a recent agreement between the Venezuelan government and the US administration regarding control of Venezuelan oil reserves.
