Cilia Flores, wife of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, is seeking home detention in the United States as her lawyers say a worsening heart condition requires cardiac treatment and recovery facilities that a standard detention center cannot provide. The request comes amid her ongoing legal proceedings in US custody. Her legal team argues that continued detention poses serious health risks, though it remains unclear how US authorities will respond to the request. The case adds a new dimension to the broader tensions between Washington and the Maduro government.
