The International Criminal Court (ICC) has been investigating Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro since 2018, focusing on alleged crimes against humanity. These crimes date back to the violent suppression of 2017 protests, where over 5,000 people were arbitrarily detained and more than 125 were killed in clashes with the police. The ICC's probe includes charges of political persecution, torture, and rape. As the investigation gains momentum, Maduro's grip on power remains strong, sparking questions about what it will take for him to step down.
