  "summary": "Maduro's wife Cilia Flores, who is currently jailed alongside the ousted president Nicolas Maduro, has a very delicate heart condition requiring surgery, according to Maduro's son. The 69-year-old was arrested alongside Maduro during a US raid on Caracas last January and is being held in a federal prison in Brooklyn, New York. Her lawyer has requested that she be placed under house arrest due to her heart problems, which he claims are severe enough to require medical attention. However, the US government opposes this request, citing an extreme risk of flight and danger to the public.",
