La Fiscalía de Estados Unidos acusa a Nicolás Maduro y Cilia Flores de conspiración para cometer torturas como parte de una estrategia de “represión y torturas” destinada a mantenerse en el poder.
Según la acusación, las presuntas víctimas incluyen a opositores, militares y otras personas detenidas, entre ellas tres ciudadanos estadounidenses.
El documento de la Fiscalía detalla prácticas como presiones, descargas eléctricas y amenazas contra familiares.
Following an FBI investigation with our interagency partners, this morning ousted President of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro is now charged by superseding indictment with one count of Conspiracy to Commit Torture — also charging former First Lady of Venezuela Cilia Flores de Maduro with one count of Conspiracy to Commit Torture and one count of Narcoterrorism. As alleged in the indictment, the Maduro regime subjected over a dozen American citizens to torture while held in custody of the Venezuelan government – including drugs, electrocution, sexual assault, and more. They will now answer for their crimes. These charges follow the historic law enforcement operation proudly supported by this @FBI in January, which arrested Maduro and executed one of the most daring FTOCs in US history, returning him and his wife to the United States – an operation which required months of coordination, detailed planning, and seamless execution across multiple components of the federal government led by the Department of War. Today’s charges reflect the commitment from this FBI and this Department of Justice to accountability, the rule of law, and the protection of U.S. national security. Thank you to @NewYorkFBI who brilliantly led this investigation with our partners. -DKP🇺🇸
