It Has Become Known In Which Cell Maduro Is Being Held

This prison has previously held other well-known defendants in high-profile cases.

Arrested Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores are being held in Brooklyn, but in different sections of a high-security facility designed for defendants, CBS News reports.

The publication specifies that the prison has previously held other high-profile defendants in high-profile cases. According to law enforcement sources, Maduro is housed on one of the upper floors of the building.

At the same time, he is not held in solitary confinement, but together with other high-ranking prisoners. Attorney Mark Furnich suggested that such a regime was probably chosen to protect Maduro from the bulk of the prison population.

CBS News notes that Furnich previously represented prominent drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who was serving time in a federal prison near Manhattan.

"If Maduro is placed in 24-hour solitary confinement, it will be done either for his safety or to prevent suicide," the lawyer said.

Fernich also added that many members of Venezuela's most notorious transnational criminal group, Tren de Aragua, are currently being held in the Brooklyn prison.
