Maduro doesn't look worried about being captured.

All the pics I've seen are thumbs up, his facial expressions are not one of someone who seems concerned.

in some other foreign country and we will probably never hear of them again. I think he willingly walked out. It's all theater.

I’ve seen some theories that he got a sweetheart deal if he secretly agreed to be “Captured” against his will.
Remember fortitudo is an extremely important concept in Latin American, if true, this would allow him to save face, especially if he was coerced
