Maduro seeks to fend off narco-terrorism trial, arguing he has immunity

Nicolás Maduro, the former Venezuelan leader, is contesting a U.S. criminal case accusing him of involvement in narco-terrorism, claiming he enjoys immunity as a former head of state. He argues that the charges are an unlawful attempt to prosecute a foreign leader and should be dismissed. This case highlights the complexities of international law when it comes to prosecuting former heads of state and underscores the geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela. The outcome could have significant implications for international legal precedents and relations between the two countries.
