Maduro Maintains Immunity in US Drug Case
The article's text discusses former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, requesting a U.S. judge to dismiss charges against them for drug trafficking, based on their immunity as a president and first lady of a sovereign state. Their attorneys submitted a memorandum asserting that the U.S. court lacks jurisdiction to try them, as they have been detained in a New York jail since their arrest last January. A hearing is scheduled for November to consider the motion, with their trial set for June 2027. These developments come amid ongoing international legal disputes related to corruption and drug trafficking cases and indicate Maduro and his defense's efforts to continue avoiding accountability, against the backdrop of ongoing tensions between the U.S. government and the Venezuelan opposition.
