Maduro expected in court imminently

Maduro is due to appear before a judge in a New York court shortly. Here’s what to expect:

Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores are due in court at 12:00 local time (17:00 GMT), where their charges will be read out
The 25-page indictment includes allegations of various drugs and weapons charges, including “narco-terrorism conspiracy”
Alvin Hellerstein, a 92-year-old district judge, is overseeing the case
Maduro and his wife are then expected to be taken back into custody, as it’s unlikely any bail request will be granted
