Cilia Flores Seeks House Arrest Over Heart Health Concerns
Cilia Flores, wife of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, has requested house arrest in New York due to heart health problems. Flores, 69, claims she needs complex cardiac treatment and that the federal prison where she has been detained since January 3 does not have the necessary conditions for her recovery. Her lawyers argue that she has experienced chest pain, arrhythmias, difficulty breathing, and significant weight loss since her detention. They also mention a serious health episode on July 29 that could have been a mild heart attack. Flores' defense proposes a regime of house arrest with armed surveillance 24/7, an ankle monitor, restricted visits, and intercepted phone calls.
