Previously, Gerardo Werthein rejected the accusations of the Venezuelan prosecutor’s office against police officer Gallo.

On Monday, Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Minister Yvan Gil firmly rejected statements made against his nation by Gerardo Werthein, who serves as the Foreign Minister in the administration of Argentine President Javier Milei.

“Gerardo Werthein, the current foreign minister of the grotesque political experiment represented by Milei, is a historic disgrace to the Argentine people. His shady track record neither begins nor ends with money laundering. No, his true legacy lies in the fortunes amassed in the shadow of every opportunistic government and under the complicity of the darkest dictatorship that devastated Argentina. The wealth he flaunts is steeped in the blood of tens of thousands of innocents who were murdered and tortured during the most tragic years of Argentine history.

The Werthein name is not just a surname: it is a symbol of plunder, corruption, and human misery. Their impact on Argentine society positions them as undisputed leaders of the true financial and moral underworld, dragging along a government that has only excelled in collecting international humiliations while sharpening its claws for new opportunities of looting and laundering illicit capital.

You, Mr. Werthein, lack the moral authority to speak about Venezuela, let alone question our public institutions and our Attorney General. Perhaps you should take lessons in dignity—something the Wertheins have never possessed in decades of exploiting Argentina. The terrorist plans attempted against our country failed miserably, as will any attempt to impose your hypocrisy and arrogance,” the Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Minister Yvan Gil declared.

The text reads, “While they try to make people believe that Nahuel Agustin Gallo came to Venezuela to see his ‘wife and son’, there is physical evidence that implicates the gendarme in a terrorist plan.”

Previously, Venezuelan authorities added Werthein as a person of interest in the ongoing investigation into Nahuel Gallo, an Argentine police officer implicated in attacks against the security and sovereignty of the Bolivarian nation.

Last week, Gallo was arrested at the Colombian border while attempting to enter Venezuela irregularly, where he maintained ties with members of the far-right planning destabilizing terrorist acts.

According to Venezuelan authorities, Gallo is an intelligence agent for the Argentine government who sought to conceal his true criminal mission—a plan to conduct an “extraction operation” to smuggle six members of the Vente Venezuela organization out of the Argentine embassy in Caracas via the border.

Investigations conducted by Venezuelan judicial authorities revealed that Argentine Security and Defense Minister Sandra Bullrich is part of the chain of command of the group of terrorists sent from Argentina.

For this reason, the Venezuelan Prosecutor’s Office demanded that Bullrich explain to the Argentine people why Nahuel Gallo was authorized to travel to the Bolivarian nation without prior notification to the relevant authorities. In response, Werthein and Bullrich attempted to deny the findings of the Venezuelan Prosecutor’s Office, claiming that Gallo is supposedly a victim of political kidnapping.
