RUCKAUF DICE: MADURO Y CABELLO EN LA MISMA BOLSA
A key hearing in the trial of Nicolás Maduro has begun in the United States (0:00-0:12).The prosecution is placing Nicolás Maduro and Diosdado Cabello together in the same case, both facing potential life imprisonment (0:12-0:24).While Maduro has only been cited and not tried in absentia, the charges against him and Cabello are the same (0:24-0:36).The prosecution is asking for a life sentence for Maduro and a sentence of 25 to 30 years for his wife (0:36-0:51).The prosecution requested to keep the identity of witnesses secret to protect their lives, citing the power and money held by fugitives like Diosdado Cabello and Nicolasito Maduro (0:53-1:24).The judge partially granted the defense access to the witness list, provided it is not published (1:28-1:43).Defense attorney Barry Pollack invoked the Sixth Amendment regarding access to prosecution witnesses and the issue of who is paying his fees (1:43-2:09).The U.S. government has officially notified the court that it does not recognize Maduro as president since 2019, therefore the Venezuelan state cannot pay for his legal defense (2:33-2:56).Protesters gathered outside the court, claiming that supporters of Maduro were paid by the international left and could not answer basic questions about Venezuela (2:56-3:39).Artificial intelligence was used to reconstruct the courtroom scene because filming or recording is prohibited inside (4:05-4:24).This legal process is expected to last for years (4:36-4:38).Former intelligence chief Hugo "El Pollo" Carvajal is a key witness for the prosecution against Maduro (4:47-5:14).The U.S. Department of Justice plans to expand the charges against Maduro, his wife, and others (5:40-5:58).Diosdado Cabello and Nicolasito Maduro are named as fugitive co-defendants (6:03-6:10).Maduro is the second foreign president in U.S. history to be tried for criminal charges, following Manuel Noriega (7:05-7:15).Maduro is currently held in a high-security prison and is allowed to spend less than $200 per week on commissary items (7:38-8:05).The case is being presided over by a judge appointed by Bill Clinton, who is noted for his independence and recently ruled against a Trump administration policy (8:47-9:27).
