Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, 63, and his wife Cilia Flores, 70, were due in US court Thursday to answer a new indictment accusing them of conspiring to torture political opponents, Reuters reports.
The charges, filed last Thursday, expand the existing case. The couple previously pleaded not guilty to charges that they abused power to help traffickers ship cocaine, and their lawyers say they deny the torture charges as well. They are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
