CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's Supreme Court has ordered the arrest of the ousted chief prosecutor's husband after authorities accused him of operating a $6 million extortion ring targeting businesspeople in the nation's oil industry. The government-stacked court announced late Wednesday it was ordering German Ferrer's capture and referring the case to the new, all-powerful constitutional assembly. The assembly is also filled with government backers and is expected to proceed with lifting Ferrer's immunity from prosecution that comes with legislative office.
