The second court hearing in the case involving Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has been rescheduled from March 17 to March 26. Operative Information Center-OMM, citing the Univision Noticias television channel, reports that the delay is attributed to logistical issues.
According to the reports, the session was originally slated to take place on March 17 at 11:00 AM New York time. However, Maduro's defense team filed a motion to change the date, citing difficulties related to planning and logistics. By mutual agreement of the parties, the next hearing will be held at the federal court in New York.
Venezuelan official Delcy Rodriguez told reporters that Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are completely innocent of the charges brought by the United States. It should be recalled that on January 3, US Attorney General Pam Bondi brought serious charges against Maduro and his spouse. These legal proceedings come during a period of heightened diplomatic activity under the administration of US President Donald Trump, as Washington continues to monitor political developments in South America.
The case has drawn significant international attention due to the long-standing tensions between Caracas and Washington. Legal experts note that such high-profile federal cases often involve complex procedural motions, especially regarding the movement and security of foreign officials. The outcome of these hearings is expected to have a substantial impact on the future of US-Venezuela relations and regional stability in the Western Hemisphere.
