据多位了解调查情况的人士透露，纽约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，罪名是涉嫌虐待近年来被委内瑞拉政府羁押的美国公民。
这些人士表示，相关公告最快可能于周四公布。
据了解调查情况的人士透露，新的指控与美国政府所称的马杜罗执政期间委内瑞拉监狱中十余位美国公民被非法羁押一事有关。
另有一位知情人士表示，调查人员还讨论了对其他几名涉嫌参与虐待美国公民的人员提起诉讼。
CNN已联系马杜罗和弗洛雷斯的律师。
马杜罗及其妻子于今年1月在加拉加斯总统府的一次美军突袭行动中被抓获。他们对贩毒恐怖主义共谋及其他指控拒不认罪，目前在纽约被还押候审，不得保释。
弗洛雷斯预计将于周四出席听证会，其律师将请求在审判前将她转为居家监禁。
马杜罗的律师正在质疑此次逮捕的合法性，并辩称这位前总统应享有豁免权，因为所指控的行为发生在他任职期间。
据检方透露，委内瑞拉政府并未代表马杜罗主张豁免权。

虐待指控
十余位美国公民被马杜罗政府羁押，美国政府及维权人士指责该政府将他们当作政治筹码。
多名美国公民公开讲述了他们在狱中遭受的虐待。2022年10月通过换俘获释的马修·希思和奥斯曼·汗在诉讼中称，他们遭受了水刑、电击、性侵犯威胁、使用精神药物以及长期单独监禁。曾是美国海军陆战队老兵的希思在被羁押期间曾试图自杀。
“西特戈六人组”是六名美国石油高管，他们于2017年被诱骗至委内瑞拉并被羁押近五年，他们也称在委内瑞拉拘留期间遭受了非人的待遇。在针对其雇主西特戈提起的诉讼中，托梅乌·巴德尔、阿利里奥·何塞·赞布拉诺和何塞·路易斯·赞布拉诺称他们在狱中遭受了虐待。
根据联合国的一份报告，这些人都被关押在臭名昭著的军事反情报局（DGCIM），该机构“应对任意拘留、虐待和迫害政治对手及其亲属的酷刑负责”。
该报告发现，军事反情报局“惯常使用”酷刑手段，包括电击、用塑料袋窒息、水刑、殴打、性暴力、剥夺水和食物、强迫姿势以及暴露在极端温度下，以“获取信息和供词、恐吓并惩罚被羁押者”。

Prosecutors in New York are expected to bring new charges against former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores over the alleged torture of Americans who were held in Venezuelan government custody in recent years, according to multiple people familiar with the investigation.
An announcement could come as soon as Thursday, the people said.
The new charges relate to what the US government has said was the wrongful detention of more than a dozen US citizens in Venezuelan prisons during the time Maduro led a repressive regime in Venezuela, the people briefed on the investigation said.
Investigators have also discussed charging several additional people for their alleged role in the torture of Americans, according to a source familiar with the matter.
CNN has reached out to lawyers for Maduro and Flores.
Maduro and his wife were captured in a US military raid in January from the presidential palace in Caracas. They have pleaded not guilty to narcoterrorism conspiracy and other charges and are held without bail in New York.
Flores is expected to appear at a hearing Thursday where her lawyer will ask that she be moved to house arrest ahead of trial.
Maduro’s lawyer is challenging the legality of the arrest and argues the former president should have immunity since the alleged conduct occurred while he was in office.
The Venezuelan government is not joining in claiming immunity on his behalf, according to the prosecution.

Allegations of torture
More than a dozen Americans were detained by the Maduro government, which was accused by US government and advocates of using them as political pawns.
Several of the Americans have spoken out about the torture say they were subjected to while they were imprisoned. Matthew Heath and Osman Khan, who were freed in a prisoner swap in October 2022, alleged in a lawsuit that they were subjected to waterboarding, electrocution, threats of sexual assault, use of mind-altering drugs, and periods of solitary confinement. Heath, a US Marine veteran, attempted suicide while he was detained.
The “CITGO 6,” a group of six American oil executives who were lured to Venezuela in 2017 and detained for nearly five years, also say they were subjected to brutal conditions while in Venezuelan detention. In lawsuits filed against their employer — Citgo — Tomeu Vadell, Alirio Jose Zambrano and Jose Luis Zambrano said they were subjected to torture while imprisoned.
All of them had been held in the notorious General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM) — which was “responsible for arbitrary detentions, ill-treatment and torture of political opponents and their relatives,” according to a United Nations report.
That report found that DGCIM “routinely resorted” to torture practices “including electric shocks, suffocation with plastic bags, waterboarding, beatings, sexual violence, water and food deprivation, stress positions and exposure to extreme temperatures” in order to “extract information and confessions, intimidate, and punish the detainees.”
