Venezuela: Maduro asks for dismissal of US case by invoking sovereign immunity

SAPO Notícias3 September 2026 at 02:20

Maduro's defense submitted a request in the United States for the dismissal of the criminal proceedings he faces in that country. The petition was filed in the digital judicial system.

In support of the request, Maduro's lawyers invoked the principle of sovereign immunity, arguing that the case should be dismissed based on this international legal prerogative.

The criminal proceedings against Maduro in the United States are related to his role as president of Venezuela, a country facing a deep political crisis following the contested presidential elections of July 2024.

Ceuta: border on alert

Ceuta, the Spanish enclave on the North African coast, remains on alert following the invasion of June 30, 2026, an episode that represents the culmination of decades of tension on the Spanish-Moroccan border. The city, located at the western entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar and under Spanish sovereignty since the 17th century, constitutes, together with Melilla, the only land border of the European Union in Africa, which gives it a geopolitical weight greater than its territorial size, transforming any threat to its integrity into a matter of European relevance. For Spain, Ceuta is a fully integrated territory within its sovereignty, while Rabat has been increasing pressure on these Spanish cities, taking advantage of their status as the only land entry point of the EU on the African continent to exert diplomatic pressure. The recent invasion highlighted the vulnerability of this border and reignited the debate on the need to strengthen European security on its outer edges.
