Maduro and Wife Plead Not Guilty to US Torture Charges in New York

Former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, pleaded not guilty to new US charges alleging they orchestrated a state-sponsored torture system. The couple, detained in New York since a January 2026 military raid, faced a superseding indictment that adds conspiracy to commit torture to existing drug trafficking counts. Judge Alvin Hellerstein entered the pleas after Maduro repeatedly interrupted proceedings to deny the accusations as 'false.' The trial has been delayed to June 2027, with defense attorneys continuing to assert sovereign immunity while prosecutors detail alleged methods including electric shock and asphyxiation.
