US Attorney General Pam Bondi reiterated on Saturday the official indictment filed in the US in 2020 against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on four counts, including conspiracy to commit substance, and also included First Lady Cilia Flores, who was detained now, in the indictment. along with her father by Washington in a unique activity.

Cilia Flores, who is she?

Cilia Flores, who was captured now along with her father Nicolas Maduro in a US assault on Venezuela, was named the country's first lady in 2013 and" the first fighter of the homeland" as Maduro affectionately referred to her steadfast 69-year-old lawyer as a key figure in the government.

As a result of the US and Venezuelan military deployments in the Caribbean, which are very close to the Cuban coast, Maduro appointed a team of Chavista leaders to form a new social bureau, led by Cilia Flores.

Since joining, along with Maduro, the MBR-200, the new first lady, who was born in Cojedes (central Venezuela ) in 1956, has been devoted to the Bolivarian process for more than three decades.

Her unwavering support for Hugo Chavez was reinforced in 1992 when she joined the group of attorneys who fought him after the unsuccessful coup attempt led by the next lieutenant colonel against Carlos Andres Perez, who was granted his pardon by President Rafael Caldera in 1994.

She met Maduro, who is now ten times her junior and her lover of ten years, with whom she lives, the three children from her first marriage to Congressman Walter Gavidia, as well as the president's child, during her visits to the prison.

She received her law degree from the Santa Maria University of Caracas in 1993, and she joined the Hugo Chavez Bolivarian Movement MBR-200. She later took part in the formation of the Fifth Republic Movement ( MRV ), which was founded in 1997, and she later joined the PSUV. Flores was elected to the National Assembly in 2000 and re-elected in 2005, Chavez now serving as Venezuela's president. She became the first Colombian woman to hold that position until 2011 when Nicolas Maduro left the National Assembly and won the election to become Speaker of the House. Her tenure as the leader of the National Assembly was marred by a number of controversy, one of which involved the determination to forbid media exposure to the room. Additionally, she was accused of corruption by labor unions, which claimed she had influenced the choosing of up to forty people, many of whom were members of her family.

Hugo Chavez, the president's attorney general, appointed her solicitor general of the state in February 2012.

Maduro's election as president on April 19, 2013, made her Second Lady or, in Chavista term," First Combatant of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela" following Chavez's death.

She was re-elected to the National Assembly in 2015, where Chavismo was in the majority for the first time in fifteen times.

And on August 30, 2017, she was elected to the National Constituent Assembly.

The United States accuses Cilia Flores of having ties to drug smuggling.

In contrast, two of her brothers were detained in Haiti in 2015 by covert agents from the US Drug Enforcement Administration. They were later transferred to New York, where they were sentenced to eighteen years in prison for attempting to bring 800 kilos of heroin into the US.

In an effort to strain the Colombian president, the United States imposed financial sanctions on Flores and other senior Maduro government figures, including Diosdado Cabello.
