Former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores are set to face new charges in the United States related to the alleged torture of Americans held in the custody of the Venezuelan government. Federal prosecutors are expected to bring the charges as early as this week. RTE News ↗

American media and the Reuters agency reported on the planned expansion of the indictment. According to reports so far, the new charges concern the treatment of Americans who were detained by Venezuelan authorities. Further details about the specific cases, the number of victims, or the alleged conduct of the two accused have not yet been made public. idnes.cz ↗

Maduro and Flores already face charges in the United States over involvement in drug trafficking. American authorities refer to the Venezuelan leader as the ousted president following his loss of office. The new charges would thus expand the criminal proceedings being conducted against him and his wife. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗

The expected move by American prosecutors could bring further information about the alleged torture and the circumstances of the detention of Americans in Venezuela. However, it is not yet known exactly when the new indictment will be filed or how Maduro and Flores will respond to it.
