AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Nicolas Maduro, l'ancien président vénézuélien, et son épouse Cilia Flores, sont accusés de « narcoterrorisme » aux États-Unis après leur enlèvement à Caracas. Leurs avocats ont demandé la levée de toutes les charges devant un tribunal de l'État de New York, arguant que leur droit à la défense n'est pas respecté. L'administration américaine bloque le paiement de leurs frais d'avocat, car les sanctions contre le Venezuela empêchent le transfert de fonds du gouvernement vénézuélien, qui devrait normalement assurer leur défense. Les avocats affirment que Maduro ne peut pas se défendre correctement ni choisir son avocat, ce qui est contraire à la constitution américaine. La prochaine audience du couple est prévue le 26 mars.
