Maduro asks judge to dismiss drug charges
Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores face federal charges in the United States, including narco-terrorism and drug trafficking, after their capture and extradition from Venezuela. Maduro's legal team argues that his sovereign immunity as a sitting head of state excludes U.S. jurisdiction, and they have filed motions to dismiss the charges. The indictment alleges Maduro conspired with drug cartels over decades to import cocaine into the U.S., but the defense claims the charges lack proper jurisdiction and violate due process.
