Venezuela's office of financial accountability says it has opened an investigation into opposition leader Juan Guaido's income.
The agency's chief, Elvis Amoroso, said Monday that Guaido, who has been recognized as Venezuela's interim president by around 50 countries, "allegedly ... received money from international and national bodies without any justification."
Amoroso, an official close to the regime of President Nicolas Maduro, whom Guaido is trying to dislodge, said the parliament speaker is suspected of having "hidden or falsified data in his declaration of assets."
He said Venezuela's constitution "establishes that National Assembly deputies are full-time, they cannot receive any type of payment from other work, either public or private."
Venezuela lurched into a political crisis when Guaido proclaimed himself acting president on January 23 after parliament declared Maduro a "usurper."
