US special forces, after months of intelligence gathering and rehearsals, executed a pre-dawn raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The operation, named ‘Absolute Resolve,’ involved a covert CIA entry, drone surveillance, and detailed military planning, culminating in Maduro’s extraction to the United States to face drug trafficking charges.

Officials said the investigation points to a “white-collar” terror module made up of highly educated individuals, including doctors.

US prosecutors have charged Cilia Flores, wife of Venezuela’s captured president Nicolas Maduro, with accepting bribes to facilitate drug trafficking and manipulate the country’s anti-drug office.
