美司法部起诉委内瑞拉前总统马杜罗夫妇：涉酷刑、毒品恐怖主义等共谋
美国司法部10月8日宣布，委内瑞拉前总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗·莫罗斯（Nicolás Maduro Moros）与前第一夫人西莉亚·阿德拉·弗洛雷斯·德马杜罗（Cilia Adela Flores de Maduro）在一份当天启封的替代起诉书中遭到起诉。 起诉书指控两人的共谋涉及酷刑、毒品恐怖主义、可卡因进口以及武器相关罪行。所谓替代起诉书，是指检方以新的起诉文件取代此前版本，对被告重新提出指控。 司法部未在公告中提及逮捕或引渡安排，案件接下来将进入美国联邦法院的审理程序。起诉内容属于美方单方面指控，未经法庭审理定罪之前，被告依法享有无罪推定。（据司法部公告）
DOJ Charges Venezuela's Maduro and Wife in Superseding Indictment on Narcoterrorism, Torture Conspiracies
The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Oct. 8 that former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro Moros and former First Lady Cilia Adela Flores de Maduro have been charged in a superseding indictment unsealed that day. The indictment alleges conspiracies involving torture, narcoterrorism, cocaine importation and weapons offenses. A superseding indictment replaces an earlier charging document with a new one. The Justice Department did not mention any arrest or extradition arrangements in its announcement. The charges are the U.S. government's allegations; until a court reaches a verdict, the defendants are entitled to the presumption of innocence, and further proceedings remain to be seen.
