Venezuela's state news agency says three engineers have been charged with presumed involvement in a power outage across central and western Venezuela.
The state-run Bolivarian News Agency says a local court in Venezuela's southern city of Ciudad Guayana has charged the maintenance workers with the "culpable favoring of sabotage."
They were employed by state-owned electricity company Electrificacion del Caroni CA.
The blackout left Venezuela's capital and 10 states without power for some 45 minutes Sunday.
Gen. Hipolito Izquierdo of the National Electric Corp. called it "strange" that the failure occurred on a low-demand day.
