Nicolas Maduro Guerra, son of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, has called on citizens to take to the streets following what he described as the arrest of his father by US forces.

In a video message shared on social media, Maduro Guerra urged supporters to remain on the streets in protest. “You will see us on the streets of Venezuela,” he said, adding, “History will judge who the traitors were.”

The video was released ahead of reports that President Maduro and his wife were scheduled to be presented before a court on Monday.

US court documents reportedly refer to Maduro Guerra as “the Prince” and also accuse him of involvement in drug trafficking. However, he was not detained during the US operation, according to available information.

There was no immediate independent confirmation from Venezuelan authorities regarding the arrest claim.
