Show Notes
Nicolás Maduro, the former Venezuelan leader, and his wife Cilia Flores are set to appear in federal court in Manhattan on Thursday, facing charges of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking. Maduro, held in a secure unit at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, has pleaded not guilty and is seeking to dismiss the case due to alleged sanctions blocking his ability to pay legal fees. His legal team argues this violates his right to counsel, while experts note the government holds leverage in such disputes. The high-stakes case raises questions about funding his defense and potential deals, highlighting tensions over international sanctions and high-profile detentions.
