Venezuela’s top prosecutor said on Monday that his office had requested the arrest of one of the closest allies of opposition leader María Corina Machado, less than 12 hours after his release from a detention facility as part of a government move to free those facing politically motivated accusations.
The attorney general’s statement did not say whether Juan Pablo Guanipa was rearrested or give indication of his whereabouts.
The government had released him along with several other prominent opposition members on Sunday following lengthy politically motivated detentions.
