Maduro and Wife May Face New US Charges Over Alleged Torture of Detained Americans
Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, face potential new US charges related to the alleged torture of more than a dozen Americans detained in Venezuela during Maduro's presidency. Both were captured in a US military raid in January and have pleaded not guilty to existing narcoterrorism charges. Flores is seeking house arrest due to heart issues. Prosecutors may announce the new charges soon, expanding the case to include alleged abuses and possibly other Venezuelan officials.
