Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has retained high‑profile U.S. criminal defense attorney **Barry Pollack — best known for representing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange — to defend him in a federal narco‑terrorism case in Manhattan. Pollack’s experience in complex, headline‑grabbing legal battles, including negotiating Assange’s 2024 plea agreement, gives Maduro’s team a seasoned strategist in a courtroom fight that could hinge on questions of sovereign immunity, legality of capture, and political implications. This analysis explains why Maduro chose Assange’s lawyer, what strengths Pollack brings to the defense, and how this move could influence both legal strategy and global perception of the case.
