马杜罗因贩毒恐怖主义、毒品走私指控面临联邦法院审理
福克斯新闻全国记者布莱恩·耶纳斯从曼哈顿联邦法院发回报道，委内瑞拉前总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗就贩毒恐怖主义和毒品走私指控出席听证会。检方指控马杜罗领导一个贩毒团伙长达二十余年。他的律师团队预计将辩称，作为国家元首他享有起诉豁免权，且美国特种部队对他的抓捕行为非法。美国财政部已授权委内瑞拉为马杜罗的法律辩护提供资金。

据周四提交的追加起诉书显示，美国南纽约地区联邦法院指控委内瑞拉前领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗及其妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯共谋对美国公民及其他人实施酷刑，以维持掌权地位。
根据起诉书，马杜罗政府“主导了一套镇压体系，依赖针对政治反对派的暴力、任意拘禁以及对包括美国公民在内的在押人员施加酷刑”。
起诉书称，酷刑手段包括“电击、窒息、强奸、强迫裸体、长期单独监禁、饥饿、惩罚性牢房以及心理折磨，例如威胁伤害甚至杀害受害者的家人，包括儿童”。
若任何指控的酷刑行为导致受害者死亡，该项罪名最高可判处终身监禁；若未造成死亡，则最高可判处20年有期徒刑。

起诉书中称，在一起案件中，一名在美国委内瑞拉关押的美国在押人员遭到多日殴打，并被泼洒有毒液体导致呕吐，委内瑞拉官员随后强迫他喝下自己的呕吐物。

这名据称被指控密谋杀害马杜罗的在押人员还遭到针对其躯干和生殖器的电击酷刑，并被注射了引发癫痫的物质。
“有一次，CC-3亲眼目睹受害者7被电击；在电击过程中嘲笑、嘲讽受害者7；并指挥其他DGCIM官员实施电击行为，”起诉书中写道。

根据起诉书，这名在押人员在委内瑞拉博莱塔北监狱关押了8个半月后，于2022年10月获释并返回美国。
尼古拉斯·马杜罗及其妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯被指“施加严重身心痛苦，以镇压和惩罚政治反对派、压制异议及疑似异议、维护并保护共谋成员的权力和权威，并通过绑架等手段恐吓、骚扰并瓦解对手”。
这对夫妇面临多项其他指控，于今年1月在“绝对决心行动”中在委内瑞拉被捕。马杜罗最初于2011年的一份起诉书中被指控犯有贩毒恐怖主义共谋罪、可卡因进口共谋罪、持有机枪和破坏性装置罪，以及共谋持有机枪和破坏性装置罪，该起诉书于2020年由唐纳德·特朗普总统时期的司法部公开。
弗洛雷斯随后于今年1月在一份追加起诉书中被指控犯有可卡因进口共谋罪、持有机枪和破坏性装置罪，以及共谋持有机枪和破坏性装置罪。两人均已提出无罪抗辩，审判定于2027年6月举行。

弗洛雷斯周四就其保释申请出席了保释听证会。她的律师以心脏疾病为由请求对其实施带GPS监控的居家监禁，并辩称她不会对社区构成危险。美国地区法官阿尔文·赫勒斯坦驳回了这一请求。
美国政府反对释放她，辩称她有潜逃风险且对公众构成威胁。
弗洛雷斯的律师表示，她否认针对自己的所有指控，她和马杜罗均已以外交豁免权为由提出驳回动议。

Maduro faces federal court on narco-terrorism, drug-trafficking charges
Fox News national correspondent Bryan Llenas reports from Manhattan federal court as former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro appears for a hearing on narco-terrorism and drug-trafficking charges. Prosecutors allege Maduro led a drug-trafficking organization for over two decades. His attorneys are expected to argue he is immune from prosecution as a head of state and that his capture by U.S. Special Forces was unlawful. The Treasury Department authorized Venezuela to fund Maduro’s legal defense.

The U, District Court for the Southern District of New York charged former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores with conspiracy to commit torture to Americans and others to stay in power, according to a superseding indictment filed Thursday.
Maduro’s government, according to the indictment, “presided over a system of repression that relied on violence against political opposition, arbitrary detention, and the torture of detainees, including United States citizens.”
The torture included “electric shock, asphyxiation, rape, forced nudity, prolonged isolation, starvation, punishment cells, and psychological torture, such as threats to harm and kill victims’ families, including children,” the indictment read.
The charge carries a maximum of life imprisonment if any of the alleged torture resulted in death, and a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison if not.

In one incident, the indictment alleges that a U.S. detainee in Venezuela was beaten for days and doused with a noxious liquid that made him vomit, which Venezuelan officers then allegedly made him eat.

The detainee, who was allegedly accused of plotting to kill Maduro, was also subjected to electric shock torture to his torso and genitals and injected with a substance that induced seizures.
“On one occasion, CC-3 personally observed Victim-7 being electrocuted; laughed at and taunted Victim-7 during the electric shock; and directed other DGCIM officers in connection with the electric shock,” the indictment read.

The indictment alleges Maduro and Flores “inflicted severe physical and mental pain and suffering to repress and punish political opposition, silence dissent and perceived dissent, preserve and protect the power and authority of the members of the conspiracy, and intimidate, harass, and neutralize their opponents, including through kidnappings.”
The pair, who face numerous other charges, were arrested in Venezuela in January during Operation Absolute Resolve. Maduro was originally charged with narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices in a 2011 indictment that President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice unsealed in 2020.
Flores was then charged in a superseding indictment in January with cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices. They have pleaded not guilty and a trial is scheduled for June 2027.

Flores appeared in court Thursday for a bond hearing on her motion for release from jail. Her lawyers were requesting home confinement with GPS tracking, citing a heart condition and arguing she does not pose a danger to the community. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied the request.
The U.S. government opposes her release, arguing she poses a flight risk and danger to the public.
Flores’ attorneys say she denies the allegations against her, and both she and Maduro have filed motions to dismiss on diplomatic immunity grounds.
