The Justice Department has filed a fresh indictment against the former president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores. Previously, both have been held in federal prison since January.
This development was reported on October 8, 2026. The indictment accuses Maduro and his wife of torturing prisoners, which compounds the federal charges they, along with their associates, are battling in New York.
In 2025, an image of the Venezuelan leader and Cilia Flores was captured in Caracas. This recent charge heightens the legal battles Maduro’s administration faces regarding human rights violations.
