In a statement published on Instagram, Attorney General Tarek William Saab accused the officer, Nahuel Gallo, of “being part of a group of people who tried to commit destabilizing and terrorist acts (in Venezuela) with the support of international far-right groups.”

Venezuela is investigating Argentine Gendarmeria officer Nahuel Agustin Gallo for connections to international right-wing terrorism. Detained after entering Venezuela irregularly, Gallo is linked to alleged destabilizing actions.
