Maduro prepares the arrest of Guaidó: the privileges have been removed and he will go to trial

The Constituent Assembly approved unanimously "authorize the continuation of the member's criminal proceedings"Guaidó of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), announced Diosdado Cabello, president of the body that reigns in Venezuela with absolute power.

On 29 January, the Supreme Court opened an investigation against the head of the legislature for allegedly usurping the functions of the Socialist leader, who also accused him of planning an attack against him.

Guaidó was proclaimed interim president on January 23, after the opposition-majority parliament declared Maduro "usurper" for having started a second termon the 10th of this month, which he badured he was leading to fraudulent elections.

The Magna Carta establishes that the Supreme Court is the "only authority empowered to order, with the authorization of the National Assembly," the detention and prosecution of parliamentarians.

But the highest court has declared Parliament contempt of Parliament in 2016 and considers its decisions as null and void.

In addition, The Constituent Assembly, elected in August 2017 and unknown to the opposition, governs as a plenipotentiary body which all other institutions of the State must be subordinate.

In practice, he has badumed the legislative functions. It is therefore to this body that the court asked to withdraw the jurisdiction of Guaidó.
