Arrest of Nicolas Maduro's wife
According to The Sun: Cilia Flores, the wife of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who just a few weeks ago was smiling alongside him in straw hats, is now in handcuffs. She is accused of complicity in running the drug state. US prosecutors claim that she is not only a political partner but also played a significant role in schemes that control drug trafficking.
“behind the curtain, pulling the strings”
This situation underscores the evolution of the political crisis in Venezuela, where Maduro and his entourage have long been under the close surveillance of international law enforcement agencies. Flores' arrest could have serious repercussions not only for the Maduro family but also for the stability of the regime in the country.
