Maduro pleads not guilty before the US judge
The lawyers for the Venezuelan president and his wife have decided not to apply for parole "at this time."
The moment Maduro was arrested.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, pleaded not guilty in their first statement before the Federal Court of the Southern District of New York after being arrested by U.S. forces in Caracas.
Maduro's statement lasted approximately 15 minutes and, at the end of it, the judge summoned the president and his wife for 17 March.
The Venezuelan president has declared himself "innocent." "I am not guilty of anything that has been said here," he said, and has defined himself as "an honest man." Even First Lady Cilia Flores has called him "absolutely innocent."
The president of the company has hired Barry Pollack, who replaced the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, for several years.
Both groups of lawyers have decided not to apply for parole "at the moment," but Maduro's lawyer has informed the judge that he has "some health issues that will require attention," while Flores's lawyer has claimed that he suffered "significant injuries during the kidnapping."
The Venezuelan president is charged with several crimes related to the narco-terrorist conspiracy.
