Venezuela Opposition Leader Leopoldo Lopezs Wife Accused Of Being Involved In Coup

Venezuela Opposition Leader Leopoldo Lopez’s Wife Accused Of Being Involved In Coup
Saturday 14TH JAN 2017
posted by James Tweedie


VENEZUELA’S interior minister accused the wife of a jailed opposition leader yesterday of being involved in a violent coup plot uncovered on Wednesday.

The allegation came after more arrests were made with paroled former general Raul Baduel being sent back to jail under suspicion of involvement in the plot.

In an early morning press conference, Nestor Reverol linked arrested Popular Will (VP) party MP Gilber Caro with Lilian Tintori, the wife of VP leader Leopoldo Lopez.

Mr Lopez was jailed in 2015 for inciting 2014’s Guarimba regime change violence that left 43 people dead.
