Cilia Flores Seeks Home Confinement Amid Heart Condition Ahead of U.S. Trial
Venezuela's former first lady, Cilia Flores, has requested home confinement while awaiting trial in New York on U.S. drug trafficking charges alongside her husband, ex-President Nicolás Maduro. Her lawyers cite a worsening heart condition, noting she has not received necessary treatment in jail. They propose strict surveillance and court-approved visitors if granted. Both deny the charges and have also sought dismissal of the indictment, claiming diplomatic immunity. The judge has yet to rule, and prosecutors have not responded.
