He Ministry of Security what commands Patricia Bullrich denounced Oscar Labordeformer Argentine ambassador to Caracasfor alleged “treason”. This is reportedly due to the fact that the former official would have started negotiations for Nahuel Gallo, gendarme kidnapped in Venezuela, without prior authorization of the Government.
The organization also accuses Laborde of “be a collaborator of Nicolás Maduro” and to carry out actions that go against diplomatic efforts to achieve the release of the gendarme who remains held for more than two weeks.

The complaint of the Ministry of Security against Oscar Laborde
The complaint begins by explaining the position of Javier Milei’s government regarding the case of the gendarme, where it is highlighted that Gallo was on vacation in the place to visit his family, and He was detained by the Maduro regime.
Thus, the complaint states: “While the Foreign Ministry tries to achieve the release of gendarme Nahuel Agustín Gallo through diplomatic channels, through the relevant international missions, the former ambassador of the Argentine Republic to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Oscar Alberto Laborde -appointed by the then president Alberto Fernández-, began international efforts without any type of official authorization, contacting the gendarme’s family in Argentina, in order to deliver ‘a letter’ to Gallo, with the collaboration of the government of Venezuela”.
Right there, they cited publications in the press where they report the former ambassador’s alleged involvement in the issue, stating the hindrance of exchange.
“The accused was in charge of presenting the entry of the gendarme as irregular.since he would not have met the legal requirements to enter that country,” they also noted about Laborde’s actions.
This is far from the Government’s position, since submitted documentation to court proving that the Argentine gendarme entered Maduro’s country authorized, in order to visit María Alexandra Gómez Garcíaoriginally from Venezuela.
Likewise, the complaint indicates that Laborde “had an action that did not respond to a humanitarian issuedespite the fact that he intends to install it that way in the media.
“Quite the contrary, far from defending human rights of the missing gendarme, what he does is unduly overlap with the international diplomatic management of the Argentine Republicin order to justify the openly criminal conduct of the Venezuelan authoritiesunder the childish pretext of an alleged ‘irregular entry’ that would support the invented suspicion of ‘espionage’, in addition to endorsing the conditions of detention, disappearance, generating alleged knowledge without having indicated the slightest legal guidelines of his detentionthus endorsing the crime of forced disappearance,” they stated.
They then assert that The former ambassador “acted against the interests of the country, to support the justification of the forced disappearance of an Argentine, arrogating to themselves diplomatic powers that can only be exercised by representatives of the Foreign Ministry.” For this reason, in the document they indicated Laborde as a “collaborator of the Maduro regime.”
