Judge Hellerstein sets June 1, 2027 as preliminary trial date for Maduro and Cilia Flores

After a third hearing of about 15 minutes in New York, Judge Alvin Hellerstein set June 1, 2027 as the preliminary start of the trial, according to VPItv and NTN24. The defense's immunity motions will be decided on November 17, said David Placeres.

NTN24 noted that Maduro and Cilia Flores did not look at each other in the courtroom. On state TV, the trial barely appeared this week.
