- On January 3, 2026, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced that the United States had carried out major military strikes against Venezuela and had successfully captured the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, along with his wife.
It is reported that since Nicolás Maduro assumed leadership in 2013, Venezuela has gone through severe political and social turmoil that has led to serious allegations of human rights violations. International organizations have issued various reports pointing to systematic methods used by the government to control the opposition and suppress citizens’ freedoms.
On January 5, 2025, Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were brought before the Manhattan federal court for the first time after being captured by U.S. forces.
Claim
There has been a photo circulating online claiming to show Cilia Flores in court, in which she appears to have an injury to her left eye.
Veridict
Using digital forensic tools, JamiiCheck has confirmed that the image is not authentic, as it was found to contain indicators of artificial intelligence in parts of the face, suggesting that such technology was involved in creating the image.
Furthermore, the image does not match the real appearance of Cilia Flores, Maduro’s wife. For example, the hair color does not match Cilia’s actual hair. In addition, the earrings on both sides do not match each other, which is unusual in a genuine photograph.

According to the ABC News website, Cilia Flores’s lawyer told a U.S. federal judge that Cilia sustained serious injuries during her capture in Venezuela.
Speaking to the federal judge overseeing her criminal case, Flores’s attorney, Mark Donnelly, told Senior U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein that his client suffered significant injuries during her abduction, and indicated that she may have sustained a fracture or severe bruising to her ribs and requires a physical medical evaluation.
