Maduro's wife asks to be transferred to house arrest to the New York justice system due to health problems

Cilia Flores, wife of deposed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, requested on Wednesday to the New York judicial system to be able to await the trial against her and Maduro under house arrest due to health problems. Flores's defense stated that she suffers from heart problems that prevent her from remaining incarcerated while awaiting trial. The request was submitted to the New York court, which is responsible for the case involving both her and her husband. This request occurs in the context of the judicial process that the couple faces in the American justice system.
