Orthodox Jewish Federal Judge to Preside Over Maduro’s High-Stakes U.S. Narco-Terror Trial in Manhattan
Captured and flown to New York, Nicolás Maduro is now headed for arraignment in Manhattan as U.S. prosecutors press sweeping narco-terror, cocaine trafficking, and weapons charges. The case will be overseen by 92-year-old veteran federal judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, an Orthodox Jew with decades on the Southern District bench, as the geopolitical fallout spills into the UN and beyond.
