CARACAS, Venezuela (AFP) — Venezuelan former first lady Cilia Flores has a “very delicate” heart condition, her son-in-law told AFP on Monday, calling for her release from the United States (US) prison where she was jailed alongside Nicolas Maduro.
Flores, 69, was arrested alongside Maduro by US forces during a raid on Caracas on January 3 and taken to the United States to face trial on drug trafficking charges.
She is being held in the same federal prison in Brooklyn, New York, as ousted socialist president Maduro, 63.
