Initially, the press versions from Venezuela included the name of the opposition leader Juan Guaidó in the list of people who would be sheltered with the capture request. However, it was clarified that this information was wrong. Last weekend the same Prosecutor had identified Guaidó as one of the heads of the alleged plot.
