Maduro Denies New U.S. Charges in New York Court

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has refuted new charges presented by the United States in a New York court. During the court sessions, Cilia Flores, the wife of the Venezuelan President, also denied the allegations, emphasizing her and her husband’s innocence.

Previously, U.S. officials had leveled new accusations against the couple, including the alleged torture of American citizens in Venezuela.

Maduro and his wife, who were detained by U.S. forces in Caracas on January 3, 2025, and subsequently transferred to New York to face drug trafficking charges, have rejected all accusations.

During the court proceedings, the Venezuelan President, while dismissing the charges, described himself as a “man of honor” and affirmed the legitimacy of his position, stating that he remains the lawful President of Venezuela.
