The White House’s official Rapid Response 47 account released video Sunday appearing to show Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro in U.S. custody, walking down a hallway inside the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New York offices.
The brief clip, captioned “perp walked,” shows Maduro handcuffed and flanked by agents at the DEA headquarters, reportedly after a U.S. military operation that captured him in Caracas.
In the footage, he can be heard saying “good night” and “Happy New Year” as he is escorted through a corridor marked “DEA NYD”.
Maduro and his wife were flown to the U.S. and are expected to face charges, including narco-terrorism.
