· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
U.S. authorities have charged Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, with conspiracy to commit torture, adding to existing drug trafficking charges against them. The formal accusation claims they established a repressive system involving violence against political opponents, arbitrary detentions, and torture of detainees, including U.S. citizens. The indictment details methods of torture authorized by Maduro, including electric shocks and physical assaults. Both have been in custody in New York since January and have pleaded not guilty. Flores is expected to appear in court to request house arrest due to health issues, while prosecutors argue she poses a flight risk.
