Federal Judge Limits Evidence Sharing in Maduro's New York Case

A federal judge in New York has ruled that Nicolás Maduro's defense team cannot share evidence from their case with other unarrested co-defendants, including high-profile figures like Diosdado Cabello and Nicolás Maduro Guerra. This decision, made by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, is intended to protect witnesses and the integrity of the ongoing investigation. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are currently detained in Brooklyn facing serious charges, including drug trafficking and corruption. The ruling follows a previous hearing where the judge denied a motion to dismiss the case, emphasizing that the legal process will continue despite the defense's claims of obstruction by the U.S. government.

Key Details: • Judge Hellerstein's ruling prohibits evidence sharing with unarrested co-defendants. • Maduro and Flores have been detained for over 90 days in Brooklyn. • The case includes charges of drug trafficking and money laundering. • Diosdado Cabello and Nicolás Maduro Guerra are among those not yet arrested. • The Venezuelan Constitution allows for a temporary presidential replacement for 90 days.
