The U.S. Justice Department has announced a new indictment against Nicolás Maduro, the former Venezuelan president, and his wife, Cilia Flores. Both have been in federal prison since January. The charges include accusations of torturing prisoners, intensifying the legal battle they are embroiled in within New York’s federal courts.
This new indictment expands the range of charges faced by Maduro and his close associates. The allegations aim to hold them accountable for their actions during Maduro’s presidency.
Nicolás Maduro, who was photographed with Cilia Flores in Caracas in 2025, is facing serious allegations from U.S. authorities. These charges add complexity to an already significant legal case involving the former leader who was deposed and now resides in U.S. custody.
The Justice Department’s move highlights the continued international focus on holding former authoritarian figures accountable for alleged crimes committed during their leadership.
