A U.S. indictment has added new allegations of torture to the existing charges against former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, expanding the legal pressure on the couple amid ongoing political tensions. The fresh accusations stem from claims tied to the government’s security forces and their alleged role in severe human rights abuses. Legal experts suggest this development could further complicate Maduro’s international standing, particularly as the case unfolds in a U.S. court. The charges mark another escalation in the long-running dispute between Washington and Caracas.
