Venezuela's top court has declared President Nicolas Maduro the winner of the recent election and has called for an investigation into the opposition. Former Venezuelan presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez, a prominent opposition leader, is set to testify about an opposition website that posts voting data. The Attorney General has announced that Gonzalez will be summoned as part of a criminal probe into the website, which reportedly shows voting records indicating he won by a landslide. This move is seen by the opposition and human rights groups as part of a broader crackdown on dissent by the ruling party.
