U.S. prosecutors block Maduro and Flores from using state funds for legal defense, citing sanctions, as their trial date approaches.
U.S. prosecutors have blocked Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores from using state funds for their legal defense, citing sanctions that prohibit such use.
The defendants argue this violates their constitutional rights, but prosecutors maintain that only personal assets can be used, not government money.
The case stems from Maduro’s January 3 arrest in a U.S. operation, with both pleading not guilty to charges including narcoterrorism and weapons possession.
A hearing is set for March 26, where the court will consider the defense’s motion and potential appointment of public defenders.
