Maduro and Cilia Flores to Face Trial in U.S.

Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are set to face criminal charges in the United States, with the trial scheduled in New York following a 2019–2020 federal indictment.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated the couple “will soon face the full force of American justice, on U.S. soil and before American courts.” Charges include narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and weapons offenses. Officials also confirmed for the first time that Flores is facing criminal charges alongside her husband.
