Overview

  • Nahuel Gallo has been held at El Rodeo I near Caracas since December 8 without formal charges or presentation before any court.
  • The Argentine government has stepped up diplomatic outreach to Washington and is relying on CIA, Mossad and Italian AISE reports to pinpoint his whereabouts and push for his release by year’s end.
  • Gallo’s wife, María Alexandra Gómez, and their young son were evacuated to Argentina in a covert Ministry of Security operation and are leading a public campaign for stronger international intervention.
  • An ex-prisoner’s testimony confirms Gallo remains at El Rodeo I, where Amnesty International warns that the detention conditions are cruel, inhuman and potentially torturous.
  • The case has further strained relations between Buenos Aires and Caracas and drawn attention to enforced disappearances under President Nicolás Maduro.
