US Prosecutors Expected to File New Torture Charges Against Nicolás Maduro and Wife
US prosecutors in New York are expected to file new charges against former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, related to the alleged torture of more than a dozen Americans detained in Venezuelan prisons. The couple, held without bail and pleading not guilty to narcoterrorism conspiracy, were captured during a US military raid in January. Investigators are also considering charges against others involved. Flores may seek house arrest due to a heart condition, while Maduro's legal team challenges his arrest's legality.
