According to Venezuelan media reports on the 10th, the country's President Nicolas Maduro's defense team has asked the US side to drop the charges of torture and ill-treatment on the grounds that Maduro should enjoy immunity as a sovereign head of state, and that the US Attorney's Office made procedural mistakes. The Chinese media quoted Spain's EFI news agency as saying that the defense team insisted on the motion submitted earlier, arguing that based on the immunity enjoyed by the Maduro couple, the US court should dismiss the accusation that they had been tortured and mistreated. If the court refuses to revoke it, the defense requests to review the records of the charges relating to the commission of torture and ill-treatment, or ask the presiding judge to review these records.
