Prosecutors oppose Cilia Flores's bid for house arrest
U.S. prosecutors filed a brief before Judge Alvin Hellerstein opposing a request by Cilia Flores, Nicolás Maduro's wife, to leave the detention center and move to house arrest, NTN24 reported. Prosecutors called the evidence against her "overwhelming" and said they will bring cooperating witnesses who dealt with her directly to trial.
The defense had asked for her release citing a heart condition, but its own medical staff has not been able to document it, according to NTN24. The hearing on the request is set for October 8 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, the same outlet reported.
