"Se le acusa de desplegar la actividad narcoterrorista desde el poder": Zair Mundaray sobre Maduro

Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro faces a crucial hearing this Wednesday in the Southern District of New York on charges of drug trafficking and narcoterrorism. This third hearing has two fundamental objectives. The first is discovery, where the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and the defense team review the status of the formal exchange of evidence. Federal prosecutors will present evidence accumulated during years of criminal investigation against the former president. The second objective is pretrial motions. Maduro and Cilia Flores's legal team seeks to weaken the basis of the prosecution's case through various strategies. Among them is the challenge to the arrest, arguing that the military extraction carried out in Caracas on January 3 constituted an "illegal military kidnapping." Based on this, they formally request the dismissal of the case for violation of international law. #NTN24 | More information at http://www.ntn24.com | Or in Venezuela: http://www.ntn24america.com Subscribe to our channel:    / ntn24   Follow us on social media!
