An official White House account has shared footage of Nicolas Maduro in custody on American soil.
It shows the captured Venezuelan president in handcuffs, escorted through corridors by Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents.
"Perp got out," the caption read.
At the end of the video, Maduro is heard saying something that sounds like "Happy New Year."
Local reports in New York suggest that Maduro has now arrived at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
He will be held there until an appearance in Manhattan federal court, possibly as early as Monday.
Earlier, Maduro arrived in New York by helicopter and briefly visited the DEA headquarters before being taken to the detention center. /Telegraph/
