Abducted Venezuelan President Maduro says ‘I was kidnapped’ as he pleads not guilty in US court
After judge Alvin Hellerstein read the charges against him, including “narco-terrorism conspiracy” and asked for his plea, Maduro replied: “I am innocent. I am not guilty of anything that is mentioned here.”
Even Maduro’s wife, Cilia Flores, also stressed her innocence when asked for her plea: “Not guilty. Completely innocent.”
Next hearing will be on March 17.
