Maduro seeks dismissal of US indictment citing head-of-state immunity
Politico EU·US · VE·about 3 hours ago
Nicolás Maduro's legal team is seeking to file an immunity motion to stop the US criminal process against him, with Judge Alvin Hellerstein setting a deadline for the arguments. The motion tests the scope of head-of-state immunity in US courts, a novel legal question with diplomatic implications. The outcome could set precedent for prosecuting foreign leaders in US courts.
