跟进：马杜罗辩方另提动议，要求以审判地不当撤销共谋酷刑指控：称检方在两人已被羁押后到曼哈顿「制造审判地」
委内瑞拉前总统马杜罗与妻子 Cilia Flores 的辩护团队11月9日向纽约南区联邦地区法院提交了一份单独动议（案卷第364号文件），要求以审判地不当为由撤销第五份替代起诉书的第二项指控，也就是共谋实施酷刑一项，或者改期到第二轮庭前动议再处理；这份动议与辩方同日提交的主权豁免动议是两条不同的法律路径，豁免动议要求撤销全部指控，本动议只针对酷刑一项、理由是审判地点不对。
辩方在动议中说，大陪审团2026年10月6日退回这份起诉书时，第二项指控此前并不存在，而马杜罗夫妇当时已经被羁押在位于布鲁克林的联邦拘留中心，归纽约东区联邦地区法院辖区，两人并不是在纽约南区被逮捕或首次被带到的。辩方指称，检方随后「制造」了审判地：10月8日，Flores 被送到纽约南区出席保释聆讯，起诉书同日解封，她在已被羁押的状态下又被「逮捕」了一次；10月15日，马杜罗也在纽约南区的法庭上在出庭应讯时被同样处理。辩方写道，政府不能只凭在自己选定的辖区执行一份并无必要的逮捕令，就借此在任何辖区创造审判地。
动议的法律依据是《联邦刑事诉讼规则》第12(b)(3)条与《美国法典》第18编第3238条，后者规定在境外实施的犯罪，审判地应为罪犯被逮捕或首次被带到的辖区。如果法官不撤销指控，辩方退一步要求检方出示大陪审团就审判地问题所作陈述的记录，至少请法官 Analisa Torres 先行秘密审阅。辩方在脚注中表示，法院可以先处理豁免问题、不必先裁决本动议，辩方不反对把审判地问题留到第二轮庭前动议。
本案的审判日期目前定在2027年6月14日。同日提交的豁免动议（案卷第358号与第361号文件）由检方在11月30日前答辩、12月17日举行听证；本动议没有单独的答辩期限见诸公开报道。

Follow-Up: Maduro Defense Files a Separate Venue Motion to Dismiss the Torture-Conspiracy Count, Saying Prosecutors Manufactured Venue in Manhattan
The defense team for former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores filed a separate motion (Docket No. 364) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on November 9, asking the court to dismiss Count Two of the Fifth Superseding Indictment, the conspiracy-to-commit-torture count, for lack of venue, or in the alternative for production of the grand jury minutes. It is a different legal track from the sovereign-immunity motions filed the same day: those seek dismissal of all charges, while this motion targets only the torture count, on the ground that the case is in the wrong district.
The defense says that when the grand jury returned the indictment on October 6, 2026, Count Two did not previously exist, and both defendants were already detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, in the Eastern District of New York; neither had been arrested in, or first brought to, the Southern District for that count. The government then manufactured venue, the motion argues: on October 8 Flores was transported to the Southern District for a bond hearing, the indictment was unsealed, and she was gratuitously arrested while already in custody; on October 15 Maduro was similarly arrested in the Southern District courthouse at his arraignment. The government, the defense wrote, cannot opportunistically create venue in any district of its choosing simply by executing an otherwise unnecessary arrest warrant there.
The motion rests on Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 12(b)(3) and 18 U.S.C. § 3238, under which venue for offences committed abroad lies in the district where the offender is arrested or first brought. If the charge is not dismissed, the defense asks in the alternative that the prosecution produce the grand jury minutes on the venue presentation, or at minimum that Judge Analisa Torres review them in camera. The defense also states, in a footnote, that the court may decide immunity first and reserve the venue question for the second round of pretrial motions, to which it does not object.
Trial in the case is currently set for June 14, 2027. The immunity motions filed the same day (Docket Nos. 358 and 361) carry a prosecution response deadline of November 30 and a hearing on December 17; no separate response deadline for the venue motion has been reported publicly.
