Nicolás Maduro tells New York court new torture allegations are ‘false’

Rewritten indictment accuses ex-Venezuela president and wife Cilia Flores of leading campaign of torture Nicolás Maduro insisted on Thursday during an appearance in a New York court that torture allegations in a rewritten drug trafficking indictment against the deposed Venezuelan president and his wife were “false accusations”.
