委内瑞拉总统马杜罗的律师向美国法院提交动议，要求以主权豁免权为由撤销对其的刑事诉讼1。律师巴里·波拉克提交了两份动议，第一份以主权豁免为由要求驳回全部起诉，第二份仅要求撤销针对"毒品恐怖主义"的指控1。马杜罗一方主张，作为委内瑞拉事实上的国家元首，马杜罗应享受国际法下的刑事豁免权，且指控涉及的行为属于官方职位范畴1。
美国检察官办公室需在10月2日前对动议作出回应1。马杜罗被指控犯有毒品恐怖主义阴谋罪、可卡因走私阴谋罪、持有机枪及破坏性装置罪，以及针对美国的持有机枪及破坏性装置阴谋罪1。1月5日，马杜罗夫妇首次出庭，对多项涉毒品和武器走私指控表示不认罪1。
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's legal team has filed motions with a U.S. court seeking dismissal of criminal charges against him, arguing that he is entitled to sovereign immunity as the de facto head of state of Venezuela 1. Attorney Barry Pollack submitted two separate motions on behalf of Maduro: the first seeks complete dismissal of all charges based on sovereign immunity principles under international law, while the second requests withdrawal only of charges related to "narco-terrorism" 1. The defense contends that the conduct alleged in the indictment falls within the scope of official state functions 1.
The U.S. Attorney's Office is required to respond to the motions by October 2 1. Maduro faces charges including narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine trafficking conspiracy, and possession of machine guns and destructive devices, as well as conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices against the United States 1. On January 5, Maduro and his spouse made their initial court appearance and pleaded not guilty to multiple counts involving drug and weapons smuggling 1.
