据多名了解该案的消息人士透露，美国联邦检察官预计将对委内瑞拉前总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗及其妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯提起新的指控，罪名是涉嫌酷刑折磨曾被关押在委内瑞拉监狱的美国人。
消息人士称，此次还可能追加起诉其他涉案人员，相关人员涉嫌在马杜罗执政期间，对十余名被委内瑞拉政府错误拘押的美国人实施酷刑。
一名消息人士表示，新的指控最快可能于本周四公布。
马杜罗的律师巴里·波拉克告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，他尚未收到任何关于可能追加指控的通知。
弗洛雷斯将于本周四在纽约南区联邦法院出席保释听证会，初步审判日期暂定于2027年6月。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）率先报道了此次潜在的新指控。
美国司法部发言人未立即回应置评请求。

今年1月，美国联邦大陪审团对马杜罗和弗洛雷斯提起公诉，指控他们参与一项向美国“数千吨”可卡因的走私计划并为自己、家人以及委内瑞拉政府高级官员谋取私利。美国军方在一场夜间行动中将二人逮捕，并押解至美国受审。二人已拒不认罪。
检察官称，马杜罗是“腐败的核心人物”，他及其同伙与毒贩和恐怖主义毒枭勾结，将毒品涌入美国市场。
马杜罗面临四项指控：恐怖主义贩毒共谋罪；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。
此案由纽约南区联邦法院审理，马杜罗及另外14人最早于2020年3日在特朗普首届政府期间在此被起诉。
马杜罗及其妻子已请求美国地区法官阿尔文·K·赫勒斯坦驳回针对他们的贩毒起诉，理由是他们作为外国国家领导人享有豁免权。法官尚未就该动议听取辩论。
今年9月，马杜罗政府前工业部长亚历克斯·萨博对一项与所谓贿赂共谋相关的洗钱罪名认罪，并同意配合美国 ongoing 联邦政府对该政权的调查。他此前从委内瑞拉被驱逐至美国。
今年5月，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻曾报道，迈阿密的联邦检察官已受命对马杜罗展开新的刑事调查，原因是有人担忧针对他的现有公诉证据不足。

Federal prosecutors are expected to bring new charges against former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, for allegedly torturing Americans who were held in Venezuelan prisons, according to multiple sources familiar with the case.
The sources said that additional people could be charged in their role for the torture of more than a dozen Americans who were wrongfully detained by the Venezuelan government while Maduro was in power.
One source said the new charges could be announced as soon as Thursday.
Barry Pollack, an attorney for Maduro, told CBS News that he has not been provided any notice that additional charges could be coming.
Flores is due in federal court on Thursday in the Southern District of New York for a bond hearing, and a trial date has been tentatively set for June 2027.
CNN was first to report the potential new charges.
A Justice Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Maduro and Flores were indicted by a federal grand jury in January on charges stemming from what prosecutors said was his role in a scheme to import “thousands of tons” of cocaine into the United States and enrich themselves, their family and senior members of the Venezuelan government. The U.S. military took the couple into custody in an overnight operation and brought them to the U.S. to face the charges. They have pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors said Maduro was at the “forefront of the corruption” and that he and his associates worked with drug traffickers and narco-terrorists to flood the U.S. with drugs.
Maduro faces four charges: narco-terrorism conspiracy; cocaine importation conspiracy; possession of machine guns and destructive devices; and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices.
The case against them was brought in the Southern District of New York, where Maduro and 14 others were first indicted in March 2020, during the first Trump administration.
Maduro and his wife have asked U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein to dismiss the drug trafficking indictment against them on the grounds that they have immunity as the leaders of a foreign country. The judge has not heard arguments on those motions yet.
In September, Alex Saab, a former minister of industry in Maduro’s government, pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering tied to an alleged bribery conspiracy and agreed to cooperate in ongoing federal investigations into the regime after being deported to the U.S. from Venezuela.
In May, CBS News reported that federal prosecutors in Miami were ordered to open a new criminal investigation into Maduro amid some concerns that the pending prosecution against him is weak.
