Their joint trial is scheduled to begin June 1, 2027, on charges including cocaine importation conspiracy and weapons possession. Maduro Guerra spoke at a Caracas event demanding freedom, while the defense has argued sovereign immunity and requested bail for Flores citing worsening health. Maduro's X account posted gratitude for supporters' solidarity.
