Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro claimed Monday that Argentine Border Guard (Gendarmería Nacional) First Corporal Nahuel Gallo who has been detained and charged with espionage intended to kill Executive Vice President Delcy Rodríguez. God guard her and God has guarded her, the Bolivarian leader stressed while insisting that Javier Milei's Libertarian administration was behind it all because it was not true that Gallo had a romantic partner and a child in Venezuela. That gentleman has his wife in Argentina, Maduro argued.
Argentia's Security Minister Thursday filed criminal charges for treason against former Ambassador to Venezuela Oscar Laborde for meddling before the Bolivarian regime in the case of Border Guard (Gendarmería Nacional) non-commissioned officer Nahuel Gallo who was apprehended by Caracas and accused of espionage. Signing the documents was Security Ministry's Chief Legal Counselor Fernando Soto.
Following the detention of Border Guard (Gerndarmería Nacional) First Corporal Nahuel Gallo in Venezuela on spying charges, the Argentine Government of President Javier Milei issued a travel advisory Tuesday recommending to avoid all travel to that country where “A dictatorship prevails,” according to Presidential Spokesman Manuel Adorni.
Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello Monday confirmed that Argentine Border Guard (Gendarmería Nacional) First Corporal Nahuel Gallo had been arrested by the Chavista regime because “he came to fulfill a mission.” Cabello added that Gallo's social media activity showed a lifestyle unfitting his salary, which raised doubts about his ultimate intentions.
