NY Prosecutor Details Maduro Torture, Drug Trafficking Structure

The New York prosecutor's office has released a judicial file alleging that high-ranking Venezuelan security and intelligence officials, under Maduro and Cilia Flores, conducted torture and waterboarding simulations to coerce judges and consolidate political control, while also linking these practices to drug trafficking over nearly two decades. The claims are sourced from a single outlet and are not yet independently corroborated. This escalates legal pressure on the Venezuelan regime and could have geopolitical implications.
