A newly released photo shows Venezuela’s former leader looking noticeably thinner and in better spirits after his imprisonment, flashing a smile and peace sign while behind bars in New York City. The images, taken during a brief appearance, suggest a shift in his demeanor compared to previous public portrayals. Authorities have not yet commented on the circumstances surrounding the photos or his current conditions. The contrast between his past defiant stance and this moment raises questions about his well-being and the political implications of his detention.
Ousted Venezuela dictator Nicolas Maduro appears to have slimmed down during his time behind bars — and even flashed a smile and peace sign in new photos from his New York City prison.
