Maduro captured after intelligence network foils escape plan

One of the most revealing elements is the existence of an active escape plan by Nicolás Maduro, which would have been neutralized before it could be executed. An intelligence network anticipated Maduro's every move prior to his capture.

Maduro's son recalled the US military attack on January 3, 2026, saying they believed his father would die during the bombing that ended with his capture in Venezuela.
