Maduro iyo Arogiisu Waa Raadinayaan in La Ka Tirtiro Khilaafka Dambiga Dawaada
Madaxweynihii hore ee Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, iyo arogiisa Cilia Flores, ayaa maanta u gudbiyeen maxkamadda federaalka ee Manhattan codsi ay ku doonayaan in la ka tirtiro dacwadda dambiga dawaada ee lagu hayo, iyagoo sheegaya inay leeyihiin difaaca madax-bannaanida dalka.
Codsigii Maxkamadda iyo Difaaca Madax-bannaanida
Qorayaasha madaxweynaha ayaa sheegay in maxkamaddu u baahan tahay inay ka tirtarto dacwadda, sababtoo ah ma jiro maxkamad Maraykan ah oo horey uga dhawaaqday dambiye la xiriira madaxweyne dibadda ah. Wuxuu yiri: 'Difaaca madax-bannaanida waa mid ka mid ah xaqiiqada madax-bannaanida Venezuela, oo kaliya Venezuela ayaa u ogolaan karta in la ka tirtiro.'
Madaxweynaha iyo arogiisa ayaa la sheegay inay ku jiraan xarun dil ah oo ku taal Brooklyn tan iyo markii ciidamada Maraykanku ay ku qabteen gurihii Caracas ee bishii January, kadibna ay u soo qaadeen New York.

Jawaabta Dowladda Maraykanka iyo Qarsoodnimada
Dowladda Maraykanka ayaa difaacday qabashada Maduro, iyadoo sheegtay inay tahay 'howl sharciyeed oo qoto dheer.' Madaxweynaha ayaa ku tilmaamay inuu yahay 'dambiile dagaal' oo la xiray, halka dowladdu ay sheegtay inay tahay 'howl sharciyeed oo qoto dheer.'

Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores asked a Manhattan federal judge on Wednesday to dismiss their drug trafficking indictment, arguing that sovereign immunity bars prosecution of a sitting foreign head of state and first lady.
Sovereign Immunity Defense Filed
Maduro's legal team submitted papers asserting that no American court has ever tried a foreign leader recognized as head of state by their own country at the time charges were brought. They argued this reflects a rule older than common law: heads of state are exempt from the criminal process of any national court but their own.
Separate filings by Flores's lawyers claimed she too is entitled to immunity on sovereign grounds, stating that such protection is an attribute of Venezuela's sovereignty and only Venezuela may surrender it.
Trial Date and Detention Details
Both Maduro, 63, and Flores, 69, have been held at a Brooklyn jail since U.S. forces seized them from their Caracas home in a middle-of-the-night raid in early January and brought them to New York. They face potential life sentences if convicted of conspiring to move thousands of tons of cocaine into the United States.
Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein has set oral arguments for November 17 on motions to dismiss the indictment, with a trial scheduled for next June 1 if the case proceeds.
Government and Defense Positions
Federal prosecutors are scheduled to file a response to the immunity arguments later this month. Maduro's lawyers maintained that he vehemently denies the allegations and that if the case went to trial, it would be apparent he has been falsely accused.
President Donald Trump's administration defended the raid as a 'surgical law enforcement operation,' while Maduro has called himself a prisoner of war and described his capture as a kidnapping.
