This market will resolve to "Yes" if Nicolás Maduro is released from custody by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If Nicolás Maduro is released but remains under house arrest, the market will still resolve to "Yes". If Nicolás Maduro is released on parole, bond, or any other condition that results in them leaving state custody, the market will resolve to "Yes". Transporting Nicolás Maduro to another location of custody (e.g., a different prison, court, or hospital within the correctional system) will not suffice to resolve this market to "Yes". Temporary outings from prison for purposes such as testifying in court or before Congress, while still under the custody of correctional authorities, will not count as a release. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from government authorities or corrections departments; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Nicolás Maduro remains in U.S. federal custody at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center under special administrative measures since his January 3, 2026, capture by U.S. special forces in Caracas on narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges, a superseding indictment from prior sealed accusations. At his March 26 pretrial hearing before Judge Alvin Hellerstein, motions to dismiss failed, though disputes persist over legal fees from frozen Venezuelan assets; no trial date is set, with Maduro pleading not guilty and rejecting bail. Venezuelan officials, led by acting leadership, demand his immediate release as an illegal abduction, while Argentina seeks extradition, but U.S. prosecution advances amid diplomatic tensions. Traders weigh prolonged detention against potential appeals or international pressures ahead of future hearings.
