GermanyFormer Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has released photos allegedly taken of him in a U.S. prison in Brooklyn, eight months after his arrest by American forces. The images, dated June 25, were shared via social media alongside a message to Venezuelans stating he remains 'steadfast.' Maduro appears in a gray tracksuit, making a peace sign, and seems to have lost weight since his detention. The authenticity of the photos could not be independently verified, and the circumstances under which they were taken remain unclear. According to AFP, the Brooklyn prison did not respond to inquiries about whether the release was authorized. Maduro reportedly has limited access to communication while in custody, with phone calls restricted to 300 minutes per month, and his son stated that Maduro is in good health and spends time studying the Bible.
