Toppled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of 'narco-terrorism' after President Donald Trump's stunning capture of him rattled world leaders and left officials in Caracas scrambling to respond.
Maduro, 63, pleaded not guilty in New York federal court to four criminal counts that include drug trafficking and possession of destructive devices.
UN Chief Antonio Guterres raised concerns about instability in Venezuela and the legality of Trump's strike.
US Special Forces swooped into Caracas by helicopter on Saturday, shattered his security cordon and captured him from the threshold of a safe room.
MADURO, WIFE APPEAR IN NEW YORK COURT
On Monday morning, Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were escorted by armed guards in tactical gear from a Brooklyn detention center to a helicopter bound for court.
An updated indictment made public on Saturday added some new details and co-defendants, including Cilia Flores.
