Slimmed-down Nicolas Maduro flashes smile, peace sign in new jail pics

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.

Two photos of Venezuela's deposed dictator Nicolás Maduro flashing "peace" signs were published on Sunday in what is reportedly described as the first known glimpse of the detained socialist inside a New York prison since his arrest in January.

The ousted Venezuelan president, 63, and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been detained in the US for seven months after US forces captured them in a raid in Caracas in January.
