Cilia Flores, wife of former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, is seeking release from a Brooklyn jail where she is awaiting trial on drug-trafficking charges. Her lawyers report that she has lost two teeth and 25 pounds, and her heart condition has worsened. They have requested that she be placed under house arrest to recover from a procedure recommended by jail doctors. Prosecutors have not disputed her health issues.
