Miami court orders Maduro and Saab to pay $314 million in damages for torture of US citizens

A US federal judge has issued a default judgment against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and associate Álex Saab, holding them liable for the detention and torture of three American citizens. While the ruling provides legal recourse for the plaintiffs, the enforceability of the judgment against the Venezuelan state remains highly uncertain due to sovereign immunity and lack of jurisdiction over the defendants.
