Cilia Flores, aged 69, the wife of Nicolás Maduro, is requesting to serve her sentence under house arrest in New York. This request stems from claims of needing complex cardiac treatment. Flores asserts that the federal jail where she is currently detained lacks the necessary conditions for her recovery. She specifically states a need for specialized cardiac care unavailable in the current facility. The request details her deteriorating health and the urgency of receiving appropriate medical attention. It is unclear if authorities in New York will grant her petition for a change in her confinement status. The case highlights the intersection of political ties and legal proceedings within the United States involving figures connected to Venezuela.
