Venezuela opens treason inquiry against opposition leader

Venezuela prosecutors opened a treason investigation into opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, a statement said, accusing her of supporting US sanctions targeting President Nicolas Maduro after his contested July re-election.

In a statement, the prosecutor's office said it has opened the inquiry because Ms Machado's support for tougher US measures constitutes "treason to the homeland, according to article 128 of the penal code, (and) conspiracy with foreign countries."

The office said it is "fighting against any person, group, or national or international entity that threatens the stability of the country."
