Cilia Flores, Nicolás Maduro's wife, requests house arrest in New York, citing health problems

Nicolás Maduro's wife, Cilia Flores, requested house arrest in New York, citing health problems. The defense argues that she should be under a regime with armed guards 24 hours a day, a location bracelet, restricted visits and monitored phone calls. The North American authorities are evaluating this request for house arrest for the wife of the Venezuelan president. This situation arises in the context of a legal process involving figures close to the Venezuelan government in the United States. The defense insists that the special surveillance conditions are necessary to guarantee security while Flores complies with any measure imposed by the North American judicial authorities.
