Overview
- Security chief Patricia Bullrich identified Roberto Baldo as the fourth Argentine detained, noting he and his wife have been held since late November 2024 on terrorism-related accusations.
- Foro Penal reports Baldo is charged with terrorism and indicates he is held at Yare III while his wife, Montserrat Espinosa Irbern, remains in a Police facility in El Valle, Caracas.
- Baldo’s daughters told TN their parents were seized on November 29, 2024, disappeared for days, later charged with terrorism, conspiracy, association to commit crimes and incitement to hatred, and that both saw their health deteriorate.
- Activists and the Venezuelan outlet Reporte Ya allege a fifth Argentine, Gustavo Gabriel Rivara, is held at El Helicoide with psychosocial deterioration, a claim not reflected in official registries or confirmed by Argentina.
- The recent release of Argentine‑Israeli Yaacob Harary refocused attention on remaining cases, as Argentina intensifies pressure for the gendarme Nahuel Gallo and lawyer Germán Giuliani, with public appeals continuing after more than 400 days of Gallo’s detention.
