📝Maduro Goes to Court📝
In just a few hours — at 8:00 PM Moscow time, the initial court hearing in the case of Nicolas Maduro will take place in the Manhattan federal court.
The case will be handled by federal judge Alvin Hellerstein (92 years old, appointed by Bill Clinton), who has a reputation as an experienced judge who has handled many high-profile cases.
📌 Despite the fact that photos from today's process will spread worldwide and cause a media sensation, the hearing itself will be purely procedural, where the court will determine the basic parameters of the case. No evidence review will be seen today — all that awaits Maduro later.
❗️Lawyers claim that if Maduro does not cooperate with the investigation, the full process will take from 6 to 18 months. Notably, this fits very conveniently with the ongoing Epstein document saga, providing the Trump administration an excellent chance to shift the press and public's focus of attention.

🔻What are they planning to charge Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores with?
▪️According to the American side, Maduro used his positions in the Venezuelan government to organize cocaine smuggling; sold diplomatic passports to known drug traffickers, helped them hide drug revenues under diplomatic cover; used controlled gangs to protect and facilitate drug trafficking; organized kidnappings and murders of people who owed money or threatened his drug business.
▪️Flores, according to the US, accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes and organized meetings between major drug traffickers.
▪️We previously explained why these accusations are absurd in essence, but briefly — there are no large drug production facilities in Venezuela, and even cocaine is imported there.
