A federal judge in New York has denied a request by attorneys for Nicolás Maduro Moros and Cilia Flores de Maduro to share discovery material with other co-defendants who have not yet been arrested, handing U.S. prosecutors a procedural win in one of the most closely watched criminal cases involving Venezuela's former ruling circle.
The decision, issued Tuesday, April 7, keeps strict limits on how defense evidence can circulate as the prosecution moves deeper into the pretrial phase.
