Prosecutors said the pair had trusted a progression of medication shipments they would be included in would create $20 million.
A legal counselor for Campo Flores declined remark, while a legal advisor for Flores de Freitas did not react to a solicitation for input.
Prosecutors blame the nephews for working with others to attempt to send 800 kilograms of cocaine from Venezuela to Honduras so that the medication could be foreign made into the United States.
The case is one of a progression of requirement activities and examinations by U.S. powers which have connected people associated with the Venezuelan government to tranquilize trafficking.
The nephews' case has been a humiliation for Maduro, who is troubled by a political and financial emergency in Venezuela.
In Friday's movement, prosecutors said recorded discussions including the cousins before their captures recommended they lived sumptuously in Venezuela.
Campo Flores was recorded saying he claimed Ferraris, and that "as far back as we began profiting we've been conspicuous".
In any case, as indicated by court records, Campo Flores told the DEA he didn't have even $10,000 to his name and earned just $800 every week through taxis he possessed in Panama.
