US to Charge Maduro, Cilia Flores with Torture of Americans

CNN reports US prosecutors will charge Venezuelan President Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores with alleged torture of American citizens, marking a significant escalation in US-Venezuela legal pressure. The move coincides with US oil firm Pcec's $3.5B investment in Venezuelan wells and a US Commerce Under Secretary visit to Caracas, creating a dual-track approach of sanctions/justice and economic engagement. Uncertainty remains over whether charges will be filed and how Venezuela will respond.
