弗洛雷斯（Cilia Flores），前委内瑞拉总统马杜罗的妻子，定于星期四在纽约法庭出庭，她的律师将请求法官将她从监狱中释放并置于软禁居所，理由是她有心脏问题。弗洛雷斯和马杜罗自1月初以来一直被拘留在纽约，当时他们被从加拉加斯的家中抓获，在半夜的突击行动中被捕。
Cilia Flores, the wife of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, was due back in court in New York on Thursday, where her lawyers were to ask a judge to release her from jail and place her under house arrest, citing heart problems. Flores and Maduro have been in custody in New York since early January, when they were seized from their Caracas home in a middle-of-the-night raid.
两人已对六年前提出的刑事案件以及几名 alleged共谋者的指控都否认了罪名。如果被判犯有参与将可卡因运入美国的阴谋罪，他们可能面临终身监禁。他们的律师还请求撤销该案，辩称他们作为外国领导人和第一夫人享有豁免权。
Both have pleaded not guilty in a criminal case first brought six years ago against them and several alleged co-conspirators. They face possible life sentences if convicted of taking part in a conspiracy to send cocaine into the United States. Their lawyers have also asked for the case to be dismissed, arguing that they have immunity as the leader and first lady of a foreign country.
弗洛雷斯69岁的律师表示，她有一些医疗问题，无法在监狱中得到有效治疗，应允许她在纽约的一处住所接受24小时警卫，并留住软禁居所。他们还表示，她在美军行动期间被“撞到墙或梳妆台”时遭受了永久性的疤痕。
Lawyers for Flores, 69, said she has medical issues that cannot be treated effectively in jail and should instead be allowed to stay under 24-hour guard at a residence in New York. They also said she suffered permanent scarring when she was "thrown against a wall or dresser" during the US military action that led to her capture.
根据她的律师称，弗洛雷斯在布鲁克林的拘留中心被拘留期间体重减轻了25磅（约11公斤），并被告知可能需要心脏手术。他们还表示，她还遭受了“持续的头晕目眩、头晕和气促”，并可能在7月份遭受了一次轻度心脏病发作。
According to her lawyers, Flores has lost 25 pounds, or 11 kilograms, while being held at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn and has been told she might need heart surgery. They said she also suffers from "lingering lightheadedness, dizziness and shortness of breath" and might have suffered a minor heart attack in July.
检方反对释放保候令的请求，在向法庭提交的申诉中称，如果释放弗洛雷斯，她将对公共安全构成“极大的逃跑和危险风险”。他们还表示，她在需要时已被从监狱带往当地医院接受治疗。
Prosecutors opposed the bail request, saying in a court filing that Flores would pose an "extreme risk of flight and danger to the public" if released. They also said she had been taken from jail for treatment at a local hospital when needed.
特朗普政府辩称抓捕马杜罗的突击行动是一次“外科手术般的执法行动”，而马杜罗则将自己描述为战俘，并称自己的被捕是一次绑架行为。
President Donald Trump's administration has defended the raid to capture Maduro as a "surgical law enforcement operation", while Maduro has described himself as a prisoner of war and called his capture a kidnapping.
弗洛雷斯被指控与马杜罗共谋走私可卡因。马杜罗曾担任委内瑞拉总统，从2013年直到他于一月份被美军俘获。她的律师表示，她不是逃跑的风险，因为她“决心通过她的持续陪伴来支持丈夫”。周四在法庭上，法官将考虑这一请求，同时弗洛雷斯继续对她的拘留和对她的起诉提出异议。
Flores is charged with taking part in a cocaine importation conspiracy with Maduro, who served as Venezuela's president from 2013 until his capture by American forces in January. Her lawyers said she was not a flight risk because she is "intent on supporting her husband with her constant presence". In court on Thursday, the judge was set to consider that request as Flores continued to challenge her detention and the case against her.
