Cilia Flores seeks U.S. home confinement due to worsening heart condition

Cilia Flores Nicolás Maduro house arrest heart condition drug trafficking charges

Cilia Flores de Maduro, the former first lady of Venezuela, has petitioned a U.S. federal judge for pre-trial release via home confinement in Manhattan. Her legal team argues that her health has deteriorated significantly since her January arrest in Caracas, citing a worsening heart condition involving mitral valve prolapse, arrhythmias, and shortness of breath.

Defense attorneys claim Flores has lost over 24 pounds during her detention at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center and requires specialized cardiac care, including potential catheterization, which they argue cannot be adequately provided in a detention facility. To secure release, the defense proposed strict conditions, including 24/7 armed surveillance by Guidepost Solutions, GPS monitoring, video surveillance, and restricted visitation.

U.S. Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein has ordered that Flores' medical records be sealed to protect her privacy, noting that her interest in medical confidentiality outweighs the public's presumption of access. Flores and her husband, former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, are currently facing federal charges related to drug trafficking and weapons smuggling. The prosecution has previously opposed the request for house arrest.
