Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is expected to face additional charges this week, according to US media reports.
The new charges are reportedly expected to accuse Maduro and his wife of playing a role in the torture of American citizens who were held in Venezuelan prisons, adding to the list of legal issues already facing the former leader.
Maduro has faced a range of legal and political challenges from the United States over recent years, including prior indictments related to allegations of corruption and narcotics trafficking, as relations between Washington and Caracas have remained deeply strained.
Allegations involving the treatment of detained Americans in Venezuelan custody have previously drawn attention from US officials and advocacy groups focused on the welfare of citizens held abroad, with the treatment of political prisoners in Venezuela having been a recurring point of international concern.
Further details on the specific nature and timing of the expected charges have not been confirmed, and it remains to be seen how Venezuelan authorities will respond to the reported development.
