Maduro's Son Revealed How His Father Is In A U.S. Prison

Lukashenko's friend is in a cell with 18 prisoners.

Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, who was flown to the United States in early January, is sharing a cell with 18 other prisoners at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York, his son Nicolas Maduro Guerra told Der Spiegel.

According to Maduro Guerra, his father was first held in solitary confinement, where he exercised for an hour every morning and kept a diary, writing down everything that came into his head. Beginning Easter week, he was moved to a general cell. About half of his 18 cellmates speak Spanish. Maduro socializes with them, watches TV and is learning English.

"Since he was transferred, he calls every night around seven," Maduro told Guerra. The son also said his father reads the Bible a lot, as well as books sent to him through Amazon, including the Venezuelan Constitution, the writings of Simon Bolivar, works on metaphysics, Shakespeare and Aeschylus. Maduro is interested in literature, among other things, which is studied by his 20-year-old granddaughter, who is an art student.

With regard to health, Maduro Guerra expressed concern about his father's diet. "My father always had a very healthy diet: lots of vegetables, little sugar. Now he eats mostly carbohydrates, deep processed foods, too much salt," the son said. He also noted that Maduro injured his knee during the detention when U.S. soldiers pinned him to the floor, but now the pain, according to his father, is no longer as severe.

Maduro Guerra said that an unsent audio recording made during the raid was found in his father's phone after the detention. "He was saying that bombs were falling, that the Venezuelan people must continue to fight, that our homeland would never become a colony. It was a farewell message. He thought he was going to die," the son recounted. He said this is the first interview in which he shares this information.

Maduro and his wife were captured and flown to the States in just two hours and 20 minutes during the U.S. Operation Absolute Resolve on the night of Jan. 3. The couple was charged with narco-terrorism, drug smuggling and weapons possession.
