Cilia Flores's defense asks judge to seal her medical records
What happened
Cilia Adela Flores de Maduro's defense team filed a motion asking the court to seal her medical records, previously provided by the prosecution, along with a declaration from her attorney Mark E. Donnelly. The filing states these records contain confidential information and are being submitted for the judge's review in connection with her application for pretrial release. A sealed version was filed on the court's electronic docket while an unredacted copy was hand-delivered to chambers.
What it means
This is a routine procedural request when private medical information is submitted to a court: the defense seeks to keep the personal health details out of the public record while still making them available for the judge to consider. The filing itself does not disclose the medical content or decide anything about Flores's pending house-arrest request.
What happens next
A hearing on Cilia Flores's house-arrest request is already set for October 8, 2026, following the government's opposition filed September 24 and a defense reply due September 30, 2026.
