> Manhattan federal court papers say deposed Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were indicted for alleged conspiracy to commit torture. Both have been jailed in New York since early January. A judge denied Flores’s request for pre-trial release; the indictment alleges they used torture to repress opposition, including against US citizens.
