CARACAS, March 25 (Reuters) - An expanding anti-corruption probe in Venezuela has led to the detention of 10 officials and 11 businessmen, the country's attorney general said on Saturday, adding that arrest warrants for 11 more people have been issued.
The investigation, which began in October, is focused on state oil company PDVSA, a government entity supervising crypto currency operations, and the judiciary.
This week, it led to the resignation of the country's powerful oil minister, Tareck El Aissami, who had served the government for two decades.
The 21 people arrested face accusations of appropriation of public assets, money laundering, influence peddling and criminal association.
Officials involved could also face charges of treason, the attorney general said.
