Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife will appear before a federal judge on Monday, a spokesperson for the U.S. district court in the Southern District of New York confirmed Sunday.

The spokesperson told CBS News that Maduro and Cilia Flores are scheduled to appear in federal court at 12 p.m. on Monday. It will be their first court appearance on criminal charges since they were extracted from Venezuela during a U.S. military operation in Caracas on Saturday.

Maduro and Flores arrived in New York on Saturday afternoon, hours after they were taken from their home in Caracas and transported to the USS Iwo Jima warship before being flown to New York to face criminal charges.

Maduro arrived at Metropolitan Detention Center, a federal facility in Brooklyn, at about 8:52 p.m. ET on Saturday. He was not slated to be housed in his own wing as of Saturday evening. His wife's confinement status as of Saturday night is unknown. 

MDC is one of the few detention centers in the U.S. with the capacity for high-security defendants. It is known for housing other high-profile defendants like Luigi Mangione, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Law enforcement sources tell CBS News that Maduro is being held on one of the top floors of MDC. They say that he is not being held in isolation, but is being held with other higher profile inmates.

In a superseding indictment filed in the Southern District of New York against Maduro, members of his family and his cabinet, the U.S. is accusing the South American leader of conspiracy to commit narco-terrorism and to import cocaine. He is also accused of possession of and conspiracy to possess "Machineguns and Destructive Devices," according to the indictment unsealed Saturday by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

"They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts," Bondi said.

Monday's arraignment starts the clock for prosecutors to turn over evidence against Maduro and those indicted, criminal defense attorney and CBS News Legal Analyst Caroline Polisi told "CBS Evening News."

"There are lots of nuanced arguments to be made about where the trial goes domestically," Polisi said. 

Asked whether Maduro can get a fair trial in the U.S., Polisi said: "The prosecution wants to make sure every element of this trial is above board, is not prejudicial, they just as much as the defense want this case to be fair and impartial."

The charges appear to be the same as those that were filed in a 2020 indictment of Maduro and several key aides.

The indictment, prepared by New York U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, says: "For over 25 years, leaders of Venezuela have abused their positions of public trust and corrupted once-legitimate institutions to import tons of cocaine into the United States," before alleging that Maduro "is at the forefront of that corruption and has partnered with his co-conspirators to use his illegally obtained authority and the institutions he corroded to transport thousands of tons of cocaine to the United States."

The U.S. government also claimed that Flores is involved in her husband's alleged crimes. According to the indictment, Flores allegedly brokered a meeting between a large-scale drug trafficker and the director of Venezuela's National Anti-Drug Office, Nestor Reverol Torres, and allegedly accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in 2007.

The trafficker arranged a bribe to Reverol Torres — $100,000 per flight — to ship cocaine, prosecutors allege. Reverol Torres was indicted in 2015 by U.S. prosecutors in New York. 

In the indictment filed against Maduro in 2020, federal prosecutors alleged that the Venezuelan leader and other senior Venezuelan government officials collaborated with the Colombian guerrilla group Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or FARC, to traffic cocaine and weapons to the U.S. 

Maduro has in the past denied the accusations against him.

Hours after the operation, President Trump said the United States would run Venezuela at least temporarily and tap its vast oil reserves to sell to other nations.
