17. "Narco terrorism" appears nowhere in the statute you referenced.

That statute does define some cases where a terroristic action can be prosecuted, but the indictment provides no specifics other than vague guilt by association. No, I did not read every word. But in skimming through it, nothing directly linked to Maduro, and most of what I saw was about Columbia, Mexican drug gangs and other entities with no real connections with Venezuela, and especially no ties with Maduro personally.

It all seems like a gigantic stretch, likely written by an AI request "Give me an indictment brief against Maduro that makes up a lot of shit and uses the term 'narco-terrorism' 150 times."

Considering most of what they are alleging didn't even take place in Maduro's country, I think they will have a hell of a time convincing a jury.
