Maduro Accused of Plundering Venezuelan Wealth in Legal Battle

In a high-stakes court battle, a judge has accused Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro of plundering the country's wealth, as prosecutors argue that the president and his wife should not be able to use Venezuelan government funds to pay for their legal defense.

The case centers around Maduro's efforts to access millions of dollars held in a US-based account that was previously controlled by the Venezuelan government. Prosecutors are fighting to prevent Maduro from using these funds to pay his legal fees, arguing that the money was stolen from the Venezuelan people.
