Nicolás Maduro's wife requested house arrest in New York, presenting health problems as the argument, according to defense information. The request was made while the judicial process against the Venezuelan president's wife is ongoing.
The defense argued in favor of a regime that includes armed guards 24 hours a day, an electronic monitoring bracelet, restricted visits, and monitored phone calls. These measures were proposed as an alternative to preventive detention.
The case is taking place in New York, where Maduro's wife faces charges within the ongoing judicial process. The alleged health problems form the basis for the request to change from detention to house arrest.
New York judicial authorities are analyzing the request submitted by the defense, which attempts to demonstrate that the defendant's health conditions justify granting house arrest with the proposed security measures.
