Overview
- Security figure Patricia Bullrich and rights advocates identified Roberto Baldo as the fourth Argentine detained, held since late November 2024 alongside his wife on terrorism-related charges, according to family accounts.
- Foro Penal reports place Baldo in Yare III and his wife, Montserrat Espinosa, in a Caracas police facility, while their daughters call for immediate release and describe a disputed “envelope” errand preceding the arrest.
- Activists and the outlet Reporte Ya cite a possible fifth Argentine, Gustavo Gabriel Rivara, allegedly held in El Helicoide with psychosocial deterioration, a claim not confirmed by Argentine officials.
- An Argentine‑Israeli detainee, Yaacob Harary, was freed this week in a round of excarcerations announced by Venezuela’s interim authorities, highlighting shifting conditions for political prisoners.
- Argentina is pressing for releases through U.S. and Italian channels, with the government labeling the case of gendarme Nahuel Gallo—detained more than 400 days—a priority as his family issues public appeals.
