CARACAS - Venezuela’s opposition-run National Assembly said on Friday that opposition lawmaker Gilber Caro had been detained, calling the move a violation of his parliamentary immunity in a Twitter post.
Maduro retains the support of Venezuela’s military and key allies, including Russia and China. But Guaido has been recognized as the crisis-torn nation’s rightful leader by most Western countries, including the United States. Guaido added that 11 members of his interim presidential team had been summoned to appear before the Sebin intelligence agency, without providing further details.
Venezuela’s chief prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation of Guaido over his alleged links to “incidents of violence” in January, but it has not ordered his detention or officially charged him with any crime.
