The Venezuelan Public Prosecutor's Office has initiated an investigation into opposition leader María Corina Machado for 'treason against the fatherland.' The investigation stems from her support for the 'Ley Bolívar,' a U.S. House of Representatives bill, HR 825, aimed at increasing sanctions against Venezuela. The Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, stated that Machado has shown her backing for the new sanctions package. The charges could lead to her detention and imprisonment.
