New U.S. indictment charges former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro with torture

U.S. authorities have issued a new indictment charging former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro with conspiring to torture Americans and his own citizens. These allegations supplement existing charges involving drugs and weapons. Federal prosecutors claim Maduro presided over a system of repression and torture, while his wife, Cilia Flores, is accused of assisting in the development of this system. The legal actions target both the former president and his spouse for their roles in these alleged human rights abuses.
