Nicolás Maduro tells New York court new torture allegations are ‘false’
NewsAgo briefing
The clear picture
What happened
Sky News reports that Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, reject unsealed torture allegations as false. The Guardian reports that a rewritten indictment accuses both of leading a campaign of torture, and that Maduro made the denial during a New York court appearance.
Latest development
The updated packet adds Sky News and explicitly identifies Cilia Flores as joining Maduro in denying the allegations; the earlier Guardian-only snapshot referred only to Maduro’s New York court denial.
Why it matters
The allegations described by The Guardian now formally encompass both Maduro and Flores, while both have publicly denied them.

Sky News characterizes the allegations as unsealed, while The Guardian calls the charging document a rewritten indictment and says it alleges Maduro and Flores led a campaign of torture.
The big question
What conduct and evidence are set out in the rewritten or unsealed indictment against Maduro and Flores?
Neither Sky News nor The Guardian’s supplied descriptions provides the alleged acts, evidence, counts, or any court finding.
What happens next
- Any New York court action on the rewritten indictment identified by The Guardian.
- The contents of the unsealed allegations referenced by Sky News, including whether they match the rewritten indictment described by The Guardian.
Bottom line
The material establishes an expanded public denial by Flores alongside Maduro, but leaves the allegations’ legal detail and the New York court’s position unspecified.
