Maduro and wife deny torture charges
Nicolás Maduro, the ousted former President of Venezuela, and his wife, Cilia Flores, appeared in federal court in Manhattan to face charges of conspiracy to commit torture, involving brutal treatment of Americans and Venezuelan citizens. Prosecutors allege Maduro used violent methods and oversaw a government-fueled drug trafficking operation that extended to the United States, with claims of torture, corruption, and involvement with terrorist groups. Both pleaded not guilty, and the trial was delayed to June to address the new charges.
