The defense of a woman identified as Flores requested that she be transferred to house arrest, citing health issues. The request was made for her to be transferred to a private residence in New York.
The request includes that Flores be under surveillance with armed guards 24 hours a day. The defense argues that the measure is necessary due to her health condition.
The costs related to security and the stay at home will be borne by the wife of the ousted President. The full identity of Flores and the details of the process were not specified in the article.
The situation occurs in the context of the political consequences following the fall of Nicolás Maduro's government, whose whereabouts have been the subject of international controversy.
