PRESIDENT NICOLAS MADURO'S NARCO-NEPHEWS' CONVICTION AND 18-YEAR SENTENCE UPHELD IN NEW YORK

The defendants on trial.

If you were wondering what happened to the drug case against Campo Flores and Flores Freitas, the nephews of Venezuelan Nícolas Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals just affirmed their convictions. They are presently serving 18-year sentences for conspiracy to smuggle 1700 pounds of cocaine into the United States. They were arrested by the DEA in Haiti.
