The government will have to navigate difficult legal issues and use testimony about incidents clouded by time. But conspiracy laws are powerful tools for prosecutors.
The two key charges in New York against Nicolás Maduro, the former president of Venezuela, accuse him of interlocking conspiracies: one to commit narco-terrorism and the other to import cocaine.
The Justice Department has dedicated scores of lawyers, including more than 125 from the Southern District of New York, to reviewing over two million documents in the prominent case.
The review, which will go on for a few more weeks at least, involves a huge trove of documents, photographs, video recordings, handwritten notes and other materials.
