> Cilia Flores de Maduro, Venezuela’s former first lady, is asking a US judge to let her await trial under home confinement in Manhattan. Her lawyers say her heart condition has deteriorated in custody, she may have suffered a minor heart attack, and she needs cardiac treatment and a suitable recovery setting. The judge has not ruled.
