US Charges Former Venezuelan Leader Maduro and Wife With Torture
U.S. federal prosecutors have filed a new superseding indictment charging former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, with conspiracy to commit torture. Prosecutors allege Maduro presided over a system of repression and torture, and that Flores helped develop it. The revised indictment also cites Venezuela’s DGCIM military intelligence agency and adds to existing U.S. charges against the couple including narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, and weapons possession.
