美国联邦检察官周四在纽约南区联邦地区法院提交补充起诉书，被罢免的委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗及其妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯新增一项共谋实施酷刑的指控。
美国联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔在社交媒体发布的声明中表示：“正如起诉书中所指控的，马杜罗政权将十余名美国公民关押在委内瑞拉政府羁押场所期间施加酷刑，包括投放药物、电击、性侵犯等暴行。他们终将为自己的罪行付出代价。”
两人此前已面临多项指控，包括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。
这份长达30页的补充起诉书指控两人牵头建立了一套政治镇压体系，依靠委内瑞拉军方、情报机构和安全部队对反对派实施酷刑、压制异见并巩固权力。
检察官在起诉书中写道：“为破坏委内瑞拉民主、巩固自身权力，这些领导人主导了一套镇压体系，对政治反对派实施暴力、任意拘留并酷刑折磨被羁押者，其中包括美国公民。这类酷刑包括电击、窒息、强奸、强迫裸露、长期单独监禁、挨饿、单独关押惩罚室，以及威胁伤害甚至杀害受害者家属包括儿童等心理折磨。”
2026年1月5日，尼古拉斯·马杜罗与妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯在曼哈顿直升机停机坪落地后被戴上手铐，由全副武装的联邦特工押解前往曼哈顿联邦法院。
马杜罗与弗洛雷斯于今年1月被联邦大陪审团起诉，检方称其涉嫌策划向美国进口“数千吨”可卡因并为自己、家人及委内瑞拉政府高级官员牟取暴利。
美国军方通过夜间行动将两人逮捕并押解至美国受审。两人对最初的指控均不认罪。
检方指控马杜罗下令逮捕并酷刑折磨政治对手，定期听取审讯进展汇报，并指示官员加剧虐待行为。据称在一次关于一名不服管教的囚犯的简报会上，马杜罗告诉官员“给他们加施压”。
在2014年政治动荡期间，马杜罗据称提议绑架五至七名涉嫌不忠的军官，并通过酷刑获取情报。据起诉书显示，弗洛雷斯同意了该提议。
起诉书还提及多起美国公民在委内瑞拉被拘留期间遭受电击、溺水、严重殴打及其他虐待的案件。2022年被捕的一名美国人据称被注射了引发癫痫发作的药物。
检方称，2023年一名被拘留的美国公民遭到委内瑞拉情报官员的严重殴打和酷刑。一名官员据称告诉该囚犯，他之所以还活着，是因为他的美国公民身份在潜在的囚犯交换中具有利用价值。
2026年1月16日，在加拉加斯一场支持被罢免的委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗及其妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯的游行中，一名女性走过一幅写有“#释放马杜罗与西莉亚”的壁画。
周四在弗洛雷斯的保释听证会上，她的律师以当天刚收到起诉书为由，请求推迟对新指控的传讯，法官批准了这一请求。
弗洛雷斯的律师以其心脏健康问题为由，请求法院准许其在严格监管条件下保释。法官驳回了弗洛雷斯的保释申请，指出她拥有“可观的资金”，并称这些指控“性质严重”。
针对两人的案件由纽约南区联邦地区法院审理，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首次被起诉。

Deposed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are now facing an additional charge of conspiracy to commit torture as federal prosecutors filed a superseding indictment in the Southern District of New York on Thursday.
“As alleged in the indictment, the Maduro regime subjected over a dozen American citizens to torture while held in custody of the Venezuelan government — including drugs, electrocution, sexual assault, and more,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement on social media. “They will now answer for their crimes.”
The couple were already facing a slew of charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy; cocaine importation conspiracy; possession of machine guns and destructive devices; and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices.
The 30-page superseding indictment accuses the couple of overseeing a system of political repression that relied on Venezuela’s military, intelligence agencies and security forces to torture their opponents, silence dissidents and maintain power.
“To undermine Venezuelan democracy and entrench themselves in power, these same leaders presided over a system of repression that relied on violence against political opposition, arbitrary detention, and the torture of detainees, including United States citizens,” prosecutors wrote. “That 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.”

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 to the initial charges.
Prosecutors allege Maduro ordered political opponents detained and tortured, received regular updates on interrogations and instructed officials to intensify abuse. During one briefing about a defiant prisoner, Maduro allegedly told officials to “squeeze them harder.”
During political unrest in 2014, Maduro allegedly proposed abducting five to seven military officers suspected of disloyalty and extracting information through torture. According to the indictment, Flores agreed with the proposal.
The indictment also includes cases involving U.S. citizens subjected to electric shocks, drowning, severe beatings and other abuse while detained in Venezuela. One American arrested in 2022 was allegedly given injections that caused seizures.
A U.S. citizen detained in 2023 was severely beaten and tortured by Venezuelan intelligence officers, prosecutors said. One officer allegedly told the prisoner he had been kept alive because his U.S. citizenship made him useful in a potential prisoner exchange.

At a bail hearing for Flores on Thursday, her lawyer asked for the arraignment on the new charge to be delayed since they just received the indictment that morning, which was allowed by the judge.
Flores’ lawyer argued she should be allowed release on bail with strict conditions due to health concerns related to her heart. The judge denied bail for Flores, noting she had access to “considerable funds” and calling the charges “serious allegations.”
The case against the couple 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.
