00:04Hello, join us as we have last-minute information regarding Venezuela's
00:08constitutional president, Nicolás Maduro Moros, the legal team representing the
00:14constitutional president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro
00:19Moros, and First Lady and Congresswoman Celia Flores has formally petitioned a
00:25federal tribunal of the United States to dismiss all charges currently brought
00:29against them, grounded in grave and ongoing violations of fundamental
00:35constitutional guarantees under U.S. law. This request, let's repeat, is grounded in
00:43serious and ongoing violations of fundamental constitutional guarantees
00:49under U.S. law, particularly the Sixth Amendment right to legal counsel. Defense
00:55attorneys have demonstrated that U.S. authorities have blocked the use of
01:01illegitimate funds necessary for legal representation, thereby undermining the
01:07possibility of a fair trial and due process. At the same time, let's recall the
01:13defense is denouncing the extraterritorial and the illegal nature of the operation
01:20carried out on January 3rd, 2026. Let's not forget in which U.S. forces entered violently in
01:29Venezuela, forcibly kidnapping both President Nicolás Maduro Moros and Congresswoman Celia Flores.
01:39Let's also recall that this was a deadly military attack that left over 120 people dead after this attack.
01:50This military incursion perpetrated against a sovereign nation such as Venezuela. This act, described by
01:59President Nicolás Maduro himself, was a violation of international law, was also illegal.
02:15And this was last-minute information. The legal team representing the Constitutional President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela,
02:22Nicolás Maduro Moros and First Lady Celia Flores, formally petitioned the Federal Tribunal just a few moments ago of the
02:29United States to dismiss all charges
02:31current brought against them, grounded in a grave violation of fundamental constitutional guarantees under U.S. law.
02:40This is all for the moment. Stay tuned with Telesur English for more on this remarkable information.
