Show Notes
Former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores face a crucial status conference in Manhattan court on Thursday, shaping their federal narco-terrorism case. Maduro, who once enjoyed lavish lifestyle, now argues poverty from a Brooklyn jail cell, claiming U.S. sanctions violate his due process rights. Prosecutors counter, stating the couple can use their own funds, dismissing any prior Venezuelan funding approval. As U.S.-Venezuela relations improve, the judge may consider full hearing or defenses like head of state immunity, keeping global attention on alleged drug trafficking ties.
