All Set for Maduro's Hearing in New York: What to Expect?
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Adela Flores, are set to appear in a Manhattan federal court for a status hearing on Wednesday. Originally scheduled for June 30, the hearing was moved up at the request of prosecutors. This hearing will not determine guilt but will address key documents and evidence exchange. Maduro faces charges of narcoterrorism, drug trafficking, and possession of weapons after being extradited from Venezuela. His defense may argue for dismissal based on diplomatic immunity and jurisdiction issues. Both Maduro and Flores remain in custody in Brooklyn since their capture on January 3, 2026.
