Following Nahuel Gallo's release from Venezuelan prison after 448 days, his wife María Alexandra Gómez described the harsh conditions he endured, including just one hour of sunlight daily. Virginia, wife of still-detained Germán Giuliani, expressed optimism inspired by the case and ongoing contacts with Argentine officials.
In the wake of Argentine gendarme Nahuel Gallo's release on March 1, 2026, after 448 days in Venezuela's El Rodeo I prison—facilitated by diplomatic efforts and the Argentine Football Association (AFA)—his wife, María Alexandra Gómez, shared harrowing details of his confinement in an interview. “He received sun only one hour a day,” she recounted, highlighting the precarious conditions.
Meanwhile, Germán Giuliani, another Argentine still imprisoned in Venezuela, benefits from familial hope drawn from Gallo's case. His wife, Virginia, stated, “He is hopeful because of what happened with Nahuel Gallo.” She reported constant communication with Argentina's Foreign Ministry and Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, but noted no contact from the AFA despite potential football ties to Giuliani's situation.
These testimonies underscore the ongoing plight of Argentines detained in Venezuela and the push for diplomatic interventions to secure further releases.
