Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello stated, "The six were arrested on suspicion of planning to 'destablize' Venezuela through 'violent actions.' The government claims U.S. involvement."
Cabello claimed the American and Czech detainees were connected to a plot involving "American and Spanish intelligence agencies as well as Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado."
During the conference, Cabello displayed over 400 firearms he alleged were found and said, 'We know that the United States government has links to this operation.'
Cabello detailed that the arrested Spanish citizens were apprehended in Puerto Avacucho of Venezuela, amid broader tensions related to the disputed presidential election.
