Maduro, Wife May Face New Torture Charges in Manhattan

Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are expected to face new charges in Manhattan federal court on Thursday, potentially related to the alleged torture of Americans. U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald is scheduled to speak following a hearing at 10:30 a.m.

Maduro and Flores were previously indicted on drug trafficking charges following their apprehension by U.S. forces in January. Both have entered not guilty pleas to those existing charges. The new charges are anticipated to be announced in court.
