Venezuela's Maduro pleads not guilty to US drug and terrorism charges

Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has pleaded not guilty to U.S. federal charges related to drug trafficking and narco-terrorism. He appeared in a New York court, where he stated he was a 'decent man' and claimed he had been 'captured' or 'kidnapped'.

U.S. prosecutors have detailed the charges against him, which are part of a long-running case. Legal experts are now analyzing the potential strategies Maduro's defense team might use to challenge the case.
