US prosecutors have denied Cilia Flores’ request for conditional release, citing an “extreme risk of flight.” Flores’ defense team argued her deteriorating health – including heart and gastrointestinal issues, weight loss, and dental problems – necessitates specialized medical attention. Despite these claims, prosecutors maintain Flores is receiving adequate medical care while in custody. The denial centers on concerns she would attempt to evade justice if granted bail. The case is unfolding in the United States involving the former First Lady of Venezuela. This decision underscores the prosecution's firm stance against releasing Flores during legal proceedings. The matter originated and is being pursued within the US judicial system.
