Nicolás Maduro și soția sa, în fața unui tribunal din SUA. Cei doi sunt acuzați că au conspirat pentru torturarea opozanților politici

Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are set to appear in a New York federal court to face new charges of conspiring to torture political opponents. They previously pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking charges. The new allegations significantly expand the existing criminal case against them, with prosecutors claiming Maduro ordered the torture of opposition politicians to maintain power. The couple was captured by U.S. forces in January and is currently detained in Brooklyn. Their trial is scheduled to begin on June 1, 2027, with potential sentences of 50 years if convicted. Relations between Maduro and the U.S. have been strained for years, with accusations of human rights violations and corruption.
