In Zahlen
The US Prosecutor's Office proposed that the trial against ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro begin in June 2027, following a process scheduled to start in November 2025. The case schedule will be discussed during a critical hearing planned for Wednesday in New York. While the defense team plans to submit its initial arguments in September, the US government expects to deliver a large portion of the classified evidence by November.
Maduro, who is being prosecuted alongside his wife by the DEA on charges of drug trafficking and narco-terrorism, pleaded not guilty in New York in January. The couple was captured at their residence in Caracas on 3 January and extradited to the US; Maduro has been held in a federal prison in Brooklyn for over six months since that day.
According to an analysis by The New York Times, US courts might not have jurisdiction over this case due to a law approved by the US itself. In the current hearing, Maduro's legal team will attempt to dismiss the case based on the conditions of the capture operation in Caracas. Additionally, in April, the US modified the sanctions imposed on Venezuela, allowing the payment of defense attorneys' fees from the country.
