Gallo was detained and accused of terrorism by the Venezuelan prosecutor's office. The complaint also names Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab for his involvement in the case. The government of President Javier Milei considers Gallo's detention a violation of human rights and seeks international intervention.
