美国检察机构对委内瑞拉前领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗及其妻子西莉亚·弗洛雷斯提出刑讯逼供罪的新指控134。根据起诉书，两人主持了一个压制性系统，对政治反对派实施暴力、任意拘禁和刑讯逼供，其中受害者包括美国公民4。起诉书详述的刑讯方式包括电击、窒息、强奸、强制裸露、长期隔离、饥饿和心理折磨4。这些新指控补充了已有的贩毒和武器指控1。
现年63岁的马杜罗和69岁的弗洛雷斯自今年1月起被关押在布鲁克林拘留中心13。据报道，弗洛雷斯在押期间体重下降超过25磅，并失去两颗牙齿4。她曾提出保释申请，但遭法官阿尔文·赫勒施坦因驳回4。美国南区检察官反对保释，辩称弗洛雷斯构成"极端的潜逃风险和对公众的危险"4。两人的审判定于2026年6月开始3。
US prosecutors have filed new charges against Venezuela's former leader Nicolás Maduro, 63, and his wife Celia Flores, 69, accusing them of conspiracy to commit torture 134. The supplemental indictment, made public on Thursday, adds to existing drug trafficking and weapons charges against the couple 13.
According to the charges, Maduro and Flores presided over a repressive system that relied on violence, arbitrary detention, and torture against political opponents and American citizens 4. The indictment details torture methods allegedly employed, including electrocution, suffocation, rape, forced nudity, prolonged isolation, starvation, and psychological torment such as threats to harm or kill victims' family members, including children 4. One American citizen detained in Venezuela suffered food and water deprivation, simulated drowning, repeated beatings, electric shocks applied to the genitals, and forced injections 4.
Both Maduro and Flores have been held in the Brooklyn Federal Detention Center since January 13. Flores appeared in court when the charges were made public and her request for release on bail was denied by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein 4. The judge rejected claims about her deteriorating health, though Flores has lost more than 25 pounds and two teeth since her detention began in early January, experiencing symptoms including dizziness and breathing difficulties 34. Prosecutors from the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District argued that Flores poses an "extreme flight risk and danger to the public" 4. The trial is scheduled to begin in June 2027 1.
