Maduro and Cilia Flores not guilty plea

A not guilty plea to fresh torture charges, entered by Maduro and Cilia Flores in a New York court, is the latest turn in a U.S. prosecution that already accuses the pair of wielding their power on behalf of cocaine traffickers. The new indictment says the two conspired to torture political rivals. Prosecutors go further, claiming Maduro gave the order to torture opposition figures and military personnel he suspected were plotting against his government. That filing rests on top of the existing case. Back in January, a U.S. military operation took the couple into custody and they were brought to New York to face trial. Whether that was a capture or a kidnapping depends on who you ask. Does anyone still care? Source: Reuters / Writer: Marie
