US prosecutors argue Maduro 'plundered' Venezuelan wealth in court battle over legal fees - BBC
Overview
U.S. prosecutors told a U.S. court that Nicolás Maduro and his associates 'plundered' Venezuela’s wealth and argued the couple should not be allowed to use Venezuelan state funds to pay U.S. legal fees, while a judge emphasized the right to a defence. The deportation of a close Maduro ally to face U.S. criminal proceedings adds to mounting legal pressure on the president’s inner circle and may bolster prosecutorial efforts and the narrative of financial misconduct tied to Maduro's network.
