[The United States accuses Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife of “conspiracy to commit torture”] On October 8, U.S. court records show that Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife Flores were charged in the United States with “conspiracy to commit torture.” The United States launched a large-scale attack on Venezuela on January 3, forcibly controlling Maduro and his wife and taking them to the United States. On the 5th of the same month, Maduro and his wife appeared in court for the first time in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, rejecting the so-called "criminal" charges from the United States. The international community has generally condemned the United States for seriously violating Venezuela's sovereignty and threatening peace and stability in Latin America. (CCTV News)
