Ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro's ongoing federal trial in New York's Southern District Court on narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation, and weapons charges drives the closely contested odds, with traders weighing a slight edge for 60+ years imprisonment against no prison time. The March 26 hearing before Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied defense motions to dismiss over U.S. sanctions blocking Venezuelan funds for legal fees—preserving the case despite judicial skepticism on due process—while no trial date has been set amid unresolved immunity claims and capture disputes. This procedural limbo, coupled with rare precedents for prosecuting ex-heads of state and potential plea negotiations, sustains uncertainty; evidentiary rulings or trial commencement could tip trader consensus toward conviction and lengthy sentencing or acquittal.
