Venezuela opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez’s wife accused of being involved in coup
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.
