The Venezuelan government's Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, accused top opposition leader María Corina Machado on Monday of being involved in an attempted attack against the country's electoral council with the goal of tampering with the presidential elections' results.
Speaking in a press conference, the government official said a team is "gathering evidence to convict as a result of these actions, which sought to alter the results." He added that the alleged attack was perpetrated from "North Macedonia" and that such crimes can have sentences ranging from three to six years in prison. Saab also mentioned exiled opposition leader Leopoldo López and political activist Lester Toledo as other figures involved in the attempt.
