U.S. Veteran, Former Prisoner in Venezuela, Speaks on Case Against Maduro
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A U.S. Air Force veteran reacted to the case against former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who is currently detained with his wife in New York. U.S. prosecutors revealed extensive new criminal charges against Maduro on Thursday, accusing him and his wife of leading a repressive system responsible for beatings, asphyxiation, and electric shock treatment of dozens of victims, including several Americans. Veteran Joseph St. Clair was imprisoned at El Rodeo from November 2024 to May 2025. 'It’s a great satisfaction to see this. The idea that so many were convinced he could go free — and that others even advocated for it — was extremely frustrating. I know that most of us have been calling for this since the moment he set foot on U.S. soil,' St. Clair told NBC News reporter Erika Angulo. 'I’m glad the Department of Justice and the prosecutors were able to successfully build this case. Maduro's regime did not respect the rule of law or any form of due process or justice. Unlike his victims, he will have his day in court, and I trust he will learn what justice is the hard way,' he added.
