Share:
A lawyer who represented rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs will join the legal defense team for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who was arrested by U.S. special forces in Caracas in early January. Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were detained and flown to New York, where they face charges in American courts. The addition of Diddy's former attorney signals Maduro's preparation for a high-profile legal battle in the United States. The arrests represent a dramatic escalation in U.S.-Venezuela tensions, as American authorities have pursued the Venezuelan leader on various charges including drug trafficking and corruption allegations.
