Another Me Too!
"The Venezuelan first lady’s other job: tending a family crime dynasty.
When DEA agents flew Nicolás Maduro to New York to face narcoterrorism charges, beside him was his wife, Cilia Flores. Pursued for years by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Flores was an alleged crime lord in her own right.
A federal indictment unsealed the day U.S. commandos pulled Flores and Maduro from Caracas accused her of conspiring with Venezuelan officials to smuggle cocaine into the U.S., accepting bribes to allow drug-trafficking flights and ordering murders.
According to court records and former associates, she rewarded a web of relatives with drug routes, state contracts and impunity. In a January appearance in federal court, Flores pleaded not guilty and said she was “completely innocent.”"
