He appeared before the judge! First statement from the son of Venezuelan leader Maduro, who is detained by the USA

Maduro Guerra, nicknamed "Nicolasito", evaluated the attitude of Maduro and Flores in the court in his post on his social media platform account.

'STANDING STANDING'

Nicolasito said, "We saw President Nicolas Maduro, my father, standing tall, with his head held high, saying: 'Here I am, I saw that the accusations that have been presented before are just a summary of false accusations and false testimony against me. I have already read this, it is nothing new, I am completely innocent.' That's what Nicolas Maduro is, a determined man. This is Cilia Flores; A standing, undefeated, strong woman. They are going through a difficult and complex process, which will bring a great transformation to all of us spiritually, mentally, socially and politically. "My father and Cilia Flores stand tall," he said.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Venezuelan President Maduro, who was detained as a result of the US military intervention on January 3, did not accept the "torture" accusations against him in the court in New York.

According to reports in the US media, at the hearing, Maduro denied all the accusations in the indictment, which alleged that he gave instructions to "torture" some people while he was on duty in Venezuela.

Flores, whose house arrest request was recently rejected, also stated that he does not accept the current drug and weapons charges, as well as the accusations that they tortured Americans and other people detained in Venezuela in recent years.

The court announced that it would hold the next hearing on December 17 to consider the defense's arguments for dismissal of the case.

Pam Bondi, the US Secretary of Justice at the time, announced that a criminal complaint was filed against Maduro and his wife Flores in the US, and that Maduro was accused of "drug terrorism, cocaine smuggling, possession of machine guns and destructive devices against the US".

Maduro and his wife have been held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, since January 3.
