The Venezuelan authorities discovered a new conspiracy plan to attack the life of President Nicolás Maduro and attempt a coup d’état, the Attorney General of Venezuela, Tarek William Saab, announced this Wednesday.

The Venezuelan prosecutor explained that the plan became known from the dissemination of public threats by telephone and on social networks against the life of President Maduro, during his visit to the city of Maturín, in the state of Monagas (northeast).

He indicated that according to preliminary investigations, behind the threats “there is evidence of a new conspiracy” against the Venezuelan Government.

William Saab announced that two citizens were arrested in this case, Whillfer Piña, a military deserter from the Bolivarian National Guard, as well as Renzo Flores.

When questioned, Flores confessed that he had spoken with Piña about the plan to “recruit 50 soldiers to take a tank and the weapons park of a military compound, to carry out an insane attempt at a coup d’état.”

The Venezuelan Prosecutor’s Office will charge the detainees with the crimes of conspiracy, association and attempted assassination.

“I have in my hands more compelling evidence that we will show in a reasonable time that incriminates them. “Both are convicted and confessed,” stated the prosecutor.

“It is a patriotic duty to unanimously confront all these conspiracies. No one can be thinking about actions like this without knowing that the full weight of the law will fall on them,” added William Saab.

Last January, the Venezuelan Prosecutor’s Office revealed five plans to destabilize and deprive President Maduro of his life, which were frustrated between 2023 and 2024.
