Venezuela accused of forging Maduro assassination plot evidence

[Zorro]

Venezuelan officials used forged emails to accuse government adversaries of plotting to kill President Nicolas Maduro, according to a private investigation firm hired by one of the accused.

Ruling Socialist Party leaders in May said a group of ardent government critics were preparing to "annihilate" Maduro as part of a planned coup, showing images of emails they said were evidence of the plot.

The images of the emails showed "many indications of user manipulation," according to the report released on Tuesday by Kivu Consulting.

Records subpoenaed from Google also showed that messages attributed to consultant Pedro Burelli had never actually been sent, the report added.

Somehow I'm not surprised.

1. I Am Not Surprised He Got What He Paid For Either, Sir

If I paid someone to review records to see if they exonerated me, I would expect the report to do so....
