From a guy who knows.
Maduro was indicted in the U.S. Probably more than once with superseding indictment(s).
The manner of arrest, when outside the U.S., does not provide a basis to defend against the criminal charges legitimately brought in a US court.
Noriega attempted that defense and it was shot down by the 11th Circuit. The Supreme Court declined to review it.
The Mexican doctor who kept DEA Agent Kiki Camarena alive while he was being tortured was kidnapped by US law enforcement in Mexico and brought to the US. The Supreme Court later affirmed his conviction and held the legality of his arrest on foreign soil could not be raised as a bar to prosecution in the US.
