Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores have been indicted in a New York court on charges of alleged torture of US citizens. The filing adds to existing US criminal cases against Maduro, who Washington does not recognise as Venezuela's legitimate president. Commentators are weighing the diplomatic implications, as the charges escalate legal and political pressure on the Maduro government.
Why now: A new US indictment against a sitting foreign head of state is a major escalation in tensions between Washington and Caracas.
