flag Maduro defies U.S. pressure to step down, fearing ICC or U.S. prosecution over corruption and abuses.

flag Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro refuses to step down amid U.S. pressure, fearing prosecution at the International Criminal Court or in U.S. courts over alleged drug trafficking, corruption, and crimes against humanity. flag Unlike past dictators, he has few safe exile options due to global asset-tracking efforts and international indictments. flag The U.S. has designated his network as a terrorist group, placed a $50 million bounty on him, and increased military presence in the region. flag Maduro remains confident in his security within Venezuela, backed by a loyal military. flag The ICC continues investigating abuses since 2017, including mass arrests and violent crackdowns on protests. flag Analysts say a coup is unlikely due to military complicity, and Maduro’s survival depends on retaining power to avoid imprisonment or loss of wealth.
