Federal prosecutors in New York plan to file new charges against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, for the alleged torture of U.S. citizens who were held in custody by the Venezuelan government during his tenure, according to CNN, citing multiple people familiar with the investigation. The announcement could come as early as Thursday.
The new charges relate to what the U.S. government has described as the wrongful detention of more than a dozen Americans in Venezuelan prisons during the years Maduro led the country. Investigators have also discussed the possibility of charging other individuals for their alleged involvement in the acts of torture.
This is a new height of cynicism.
The U.S, through all those American presidents who’ve come and gone, have killed a whole crowd at Guantanamo and millions more in secret prisons all over the planet, killed/torture lots of Latin American immigrants in ICE sites and Salvador prisons, and yet those American “prisoners”, better called mercenaries(example Jordan Goudreau), came to Venezuelan soil to kill Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro.
There is no law or justice in a Mafia court.
