A criminal investigation has been launched into Venezeulan opposition leader Juan Guaido and several key advisers after the government led by President Nicolas Maduro accused them of acts of treason.



Venezuelan Prosecutor general Tarek Saab announced the move on Friday. Guaido and advisers Vanessa Neumann and Manuel Avendaño were allegedly involved negotiating away Venezuela’s “historical claim” to the territory of Esequibo, which is formally under the administration of Guyana.
