US prosecutors have rejected claims that Nicolás Maduro is entitled to immunity from prosecution. The decision stems from the fact that Delcy Rodríguez, a key figure associated with Maduro, did not assert this protection on his behalf. This development impacts potential legal proceedings against Maduro in the United States. The specifics of the potential charges against Maduro remain undisclosed, but the denial of immunity opens the door for further investigation and possible indictment. The lack of a claim from Rodríguez is central to the prosecution’s reasoning, suggesting a procedural failing in attempts to secure immunity. This signifies a hardening of the US stance towards the Venezuelan leader. It remains unclear how Maduro will respond to this decision and whether further attempts will be made to claim immunity.
