Judge denies release for Maduro's wife amid new torture charges

A federal judge on Thursday denied Cilia Flores's request for home detention, after she cited lost teeth, 25 pounds of weight loss and a worsening heart condition. Prosecutors said releasing her posed an "extreme risk of flight and danger to the public." The ruling came the same day a superseding indictment charged Flores and her husband, former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, with conspiracy to commit torture against American detainees, adding to narcoterrorism and drug charges they already face since their January capture.
