Some 34 suspects have been linked to the failed assassination attempt against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a top official said on Tuesday.
Authorities have arrested 14 of the suspects, including two members of the armed forces, Prosecutor General Tarek William Saab said at a press conference, adding others are abroad, in Colombia and the United States.
His agency has notified Interpol "in record time" as to their identities, he said.
Among the suspects is former National Assembly legislator Juan Requesens, who has been charged with treason, attempted homicide, terrorism and other crimes, based on video and audio evidence, as well as the confessions or testimony of those in custody, said Saab.
Interpol has also been asked to arrest former opposition lawmaker Julio Borges, for his role in the scheme.
In the meantime, authorities have asked that both lawmakers have their accounts frozen.
According to Saab, his office has opened an investigation into his predecessor, Luisa Ortega Diaz, who has reportedly said: "If I was behind this plan, the country would be celebrating its freedom."
During an outdoor ceremony on Aug. 4 to commemorate the 81st anniversary of Venezuela's national guard, two drones carrying explosives flew close to the presidential stand as Maduro was giving a speech and detonated.
Maduro was unharmed but several members of the military sustained injuries.
