Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores have been set for trial on June 1, 2027, to face federal charges of narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering, and conspiracy to traffic cocaine into the United States. The trial date was decided by a federal judge in New York on Wednesday following a court filing from prosecutors and defense lawyers. Maduro was captured and brought to the U.S. in January 2026, and both he and Flores have pleaded not guilty. The case represents a significant legal proceeding against the ousted Venezuelan leader now in U.S. custody.
