The country's Attorney General Berthine Razafiarivony said on Thursday the arrest took place on Tuesday as a probe "into an attack on the state security"
Addressing the press, Razafiarivony said the foiled plot included the " killing and neutralization " of senior political figures other than the President.

Rajoelina 44, was sworn in as President of the Indian Ocean Island country in 2019.
