Maduro's trial proceeds amid wife’s charges
Venezuelan ousted President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores face criminal charges in the United States, including drug trafficking and drug-related terrorism, in New York. Maduro, who is being held at Brooklyn jail, is appearing before a Manhattan court, denying the charges against him. This marks his third court appearance since his arrest in January, facing four charges, while his wife faces three; families who have lost loved ones are demanding compensation from him. The session came after the Biden administration approved paying Venezuela's legal fees. This occurs amid worsening political and humanitarian conditions in Venezuela following Maduro's ousting.
