Three American citizens were detained by the Venezuelan government on suspicion of plotting to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro and sabotage the country as alleged conspiracies in the area continue to run rampant.
Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello announced on Saturday that three Americans, two Spaniards and a Czech citizen were arrested for allegedly plotting an attack to “destabilize” Maduro and his government through “violent actions,” adding that the government seized hundreds of weapons, Agence France Presse reported.
Cabello did not state when the six individuals were arrested, but made claims that “the CIA is in charge of this operation and the CNI of Spain, too,” Spanish outlets reported.
He said the two Spaniards were recently detained in Puerto Ayacucho in the Southwest and declared those detained were looking for mercenaries with a “very clear objective” of assassinating Maduro.
