On the night of August 7, local time, Venezuelan Attorney General Sabo announced that the two American mercenaries who planned and participated in the coup were sentenced to 20 years in prison and released relevant evidence photos. Saab said the two mercenaries confessed to crimes such as conspiracy, illegal arms trafficking and terrorism.
On May 4 this year, the Venezuelan government arrested 13 mercenaries including two Americans in the northern state of Aragua. Soon the two American mercenaries admitted to participating in the invasion of Venezuela to capture President Maduro. The Venezuelan side subsequently stated that they would be tried by the Venezuelan justice system. (Headquarters reporter Liu Xin)
