FM Yvan Gil responded firmly to the false claims of the right-wing Argentine government.
On Thursday, Bolivarian authorities released images confirming the good health of Argentine police officer Nahuel Gallo. This was Venezuela’s response to unfounded accusations from Argentina alleging that the officer was a victim of forced disappearance.

Previously, the administration of President Javier Milei filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) regarding Gallo’s detention. Aimed at tarnishing the Bolivarian nation’s reputation, this maneuver was met with a forceful response from Venezuela’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Yvan Gil.
“Milei’s Argentine government continues to put on a shameful spectacle, moving from one absurdity to another on the international stage. Invoking the Rome Statute, which they clearly do not understand, to fuel their unhealthy political obsession is not only ignorant but also scandalously unserious,” he said.
“Officials from Milei’s puppet government, involved in an extreme right-wing coup and terrorist agenda against Venezuela, are using erratic diplomatic actions to justify their own failures and complicity. Justice and human rights are not tools for desperate agendas. Their fiasco only reinforces their status as the laughingstock of global diplomacy,” Gil emphasized.
On December 8, Venezuelan authorities identified activities involving Argentine officer Gallo, who was detained in the state of Tachira on the Colombia-Venezuela border. Under the pretense of visiting family members, he attempted to enter Venezuelan territory to engage in illicit activities.
Gallo is an intelligence agent who was planning an “extraction operation” involving six members of the far-right organization Vente Venezuela, currently sheltered inside the Argentine embassy in Caracas.
Venezuela’s Attorney General Tarek William Saab also dismissed Argentine claims that Gallo was being held in deplorable conditions at a military base. Specifically, Saab confirmed that the officer is under judicial custody and fully enjoys his fundamental rights in accordance with Venezuela’s constitution.
