The probe will examine allegations of “corruption, extortion, association to commit crime, and money laundering.”

Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek William Saab says evidence has been discovered revealing a network of extortionists who had planned to destabilize the nation's democratically-elected Bolivarian Revolutionary government.

Speaking to reporters during a news conference at the Public Ministry headquarters in Caracas, Saab said “We've authorized two district attorneys to investigate these grave crimes and they are working on the case immediately.”

He outlined the corruption accusations against his predecessor Luisa Ortega's husband and members of her team of prosecutors.

Ortega was suspended on August 5 by the National Constituent Assembly while she is investigated over accusations of "grave breaches of the law."

Saab said the network specialized in operating with “double passports”.

He added that the probe will examine allegations of “corruption, extortion, association to commit crime, and money laundering.”
