The parties said in the filing that they may seek changes to the schedule.<br>U.S. Special Forces captured Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in Caracas during a nighttime raid in January and brought them \u200bto New York to face the charges. They have pleaded not guilty.<br>In the filing, lawyers for both \u200bsides proposed that Maduro&#8217;s first round of legal motions to try to have the case dismissed would be \u200cdue on \u2060September 2. That would likely include a motion to dismiss the case on the basis that he should be immune from prosecution as the head of a sovereign state.<br><br>Maduro would then file a second round of legal motions by January 11, after prosecutors hand over any classified evidence for \u200bthe defense&#8217;s review, according \u200bto the filing.<br>Maduro, a \u2060socialist who had an antagonistic relationship with Washington while leading Venezuela from 2013 until his capture, referred to himself as a &#8220;prisoner of war&#8221; during \u200bhis January 5 appearance. He has long accused the United States of \u200bseeking his \u2060ouster to gain greater control of the country&#8217;s vast oil reserves.<br>The United States calls Maduro a corrupt dictator whose mismanagement of the economy led to an economic collapse, and accuses him of rigging his reelection \u2060votes \u200bin 2018 and 2024. It stopped recognizing him as Venezuela&#8217;s \u200blegitimate president in 2019.<br>Maduro and Flores have been held in a federal jail in Brooklyn since they were brought to \u200bthe U.S. in January.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and prosecutors with the U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday proposed a June 2027 start date for Maduro&#8217;s U.S. criminal trial on drug trafficking charges.The joint \u200bproposal came in a court filing ahead of a hearing in Maduro&#8217;s case scheduled \u200bfor Wednesday at 12 p.m. EDT (1600 GMT) in Manhattan federal [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":16820,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[3685,1907,2694],"class_list":["post-16819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","tag-filing","tag-his","tag-maduro"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.0 -
