Venezuela's Delcy Rodríguez seeks US immunity for herself, not Maduro
El EspectadorLO·VE · US·2 days ago
US prosecutors plan to add torture charges against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, on top of existing drug and weapons conspiracy charges. The move escalates US legal pressure on the regime, though enforcement remains symbolic given Maduro's control of Venezuela.
US authorities have confirmed the addition of torture charges against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and an associate, Flores, following their detention and transfer to New York on existing drug trafficking charges. These new charges allege torture of US citizens, marking a significant escalation in US legal action against Maduro. The legal and diplomatic ramifications of this development remain uncertain.
