The partner and son of the imprisoned gendarme in Venezuela are already in Argentina, and the release of the cash depends on the U.S.

The partner of Nahuel Gallo, the Argentine police officer detained in Venezuela by the Chavista regime since December 8, without any communication with his family, is now in Argentina with their young son . The government confirmed this on Thursday.

They are María Alexandra Gómez García and little Víctor Benjamín Gallo, who left Venezuela in the last few hours for Colombia and from there took a plane to Argentina with a stopover in Panama, as Clarín exclusively published last Wednesday.

According to this newspaper's high-ranking sources, she was met by her two brothers, the only relatives living in Argentina—all three are Venezuelan—along with the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich , and human rights activist Elisa Trotta , who is also of Venezuelan origin. Also present at Ezeiza were the Commander-in-Chief of the Gendarmerie, Claudio Miguel Brilloni, and Airport Security Police authorities.

The gendarme's release, meanwhile, is more complex and still in limbo . As this newspaper has also reported, it depends on an international negotiation between Argentina and the Donald Trump administration regarding several foreign political prisoners in Venezuela.

Bullrich will travel to the United States on June 11 , and the uncertain future of the Gendarme will be part of the negotiations.

"They arrived in the country last night, and were received by the Gendarmerie and Minister Bullrich," said Manuel Adorni, during his press conference at the Casa Rosada (Presidential Palace) when asked about the arrival of the mother and son, who, according to the Casa Rosada spokesperson, arrived "in good health."

Minister Patricia Bullrich also confirmed this to Clarín during a press conference where she detailed the arrest of twelve Venezuelans accused of being members of the transnational gang Tren de Aragua. Their leader is being held in the Ezeiza prison and, according to the minister, operated from there.

Adorni said they were "working tirelessly to end this monstrosity," referring to the Venezuelan dictatorship that uses the detention of foreigners as a bargaining chip.

Although Adorni and Bullrich sought to distance themselves from the government's secret operation to get Alexandra and Víctor out of Venezuela so as not to anger the Venezuelan dictatorship and make it more cruel to Nahuel Gallo, there was direct official participation. It was a "chain operation" involving the young woman and the child, who had been living with her mother for almost a year in Anzoátegui. The operation was led by the Security Department, with support from the Foreign Ministry.

Civilian personnel transported them by land to the border with the support of the Foreign Ministry, which has no personnel in Venezuela because relations have been severed since Maduro expelled Argentine diplomats from the embassy in Caracas.

Alexandra had no restrictions on leaving her country. She then arrived in Cúcuta and from there went to Bogotá, where she was supported by the ambassador to Colombia, Mario Verón Guerra , who arrived there after the crisis between Gustavo Petro and Javier Milei was resolved. The Argentine embassy in Bogotá gave her the documents she needed to leave because, in fact, she didn't have them, and then they had to avoid problems with the Colombian police. And there were none. Alexandra and the child were put on board for Panama and Buenos Aires, arriving at 12:40 a.m. on Thursday.

So far, no photos of the woman and child at Ezeiza have been released to protect her, but she posted a thank you in her stories, immediately, without exposing herself . "Victor and I are fine. Thank God and the people who were by our side." With a heart emoji, she stated: "We returned in a way we didn't want but in a way that was necessary. We continue fighting and working for Nahuel's FREEDOM ," she concluded with other emojis and a "We continue rowing in one direction."

Alejandra is currently unemployed. Her retired mother remained in Venezuela. Her siblings work in delivery jobs, leaving her financial situation at a difficult time. Therefore, the Venezuelan community advises her to be the ones receiving Nahuel's salary and social benefits, which are currently being sent to the Gendarme's mother, Griselda, who lives in Catamarca. There is no relationship between Víctor Benjamín's mother and grandmother.
