US Escalates Legal Pressure on Maduro with New Torture Charges

US authorities have formally charged Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores with torture and conspiracy to commit torture, adding to existing drug trafficking and narcoterrorism charges. These charges allege torture of US citizens and children, and link Maduro's network to FARC/ELN and drug debt negotiations involving military explosives. The couple is reportedly in US custody, with Cilia Flores denied bail, though some sources indicate Maduro's capture as occurring in early 2026 or earlier this year, creating a discrepancy regarding his current status.
