Buenos Aires Herald 
Venezuelan authorities have arrested Germán Darío Giuliani, an Argentine lawyer who had been in the country since April, according to Interior Relations Minister Diosdado Cabello, President Nicolás Maduro’s right hand man.
It is unknown what charges have been brought against Giuliani. The arrest took place just over a day after another Argentine, cybersecurity expert Pablo Gonzalo Carrasco, was detained on charges of “conspiracy” and later released.
Since President Javier Milei took office and Maduro was re-inaugurated in elections widely regarded as fraudulent, the diplomatic relationship between Argentina and Venezuela has hit rock bottom, and several Argentine nationals have been arrested in the country in recent months.
Gendarme Nahuel Agustín Gallo was arrested on espionage charges when he entered the Caribbean country on December 8.
According to his social media profiles, Giuliani is a lawyer specializing in criminal and labor law. On May 5, he posted photos at a restaurant in Anzoátegui state.
Unlike Gallo, Giuliani was not detained upon entering Venezuela, and information online indicates that he has been in the country since mid-April.

Cabello accused most of those arrested in recent hours of planning “terrorist acts” to sabotage Sunday’s parliamentary elections, although it is unclear whether these charges apply to Giuliani specifically.
Pablo Gonzalo Carrasco, an Italian-Argentine citizen, was arrested and held for several hours this Thursday before being released. He was accused of participating in a “conspiratorial plan.” Carrasco had traveled to Caracas to attend a cybersecurity conference, representing the U.S. company 99 Hat.
News of his arrest was announced by Cabello during his radio program. “If you come here to conspire, we’re going to catch you, know that,” warned the official, while also reporting that security forces had detained 38 people — 17 foreigners and 21 Venezuelans — whom he described as “mercenaries” involved in an alleged attempt to sabotage the elections.
Carrasco reportedly entered the country on his Italian passport. His trip, which began in Bogotá, was for the purposes of banking training as part of his work for the tech firm 99 Hat.
The detention was brief. By noon on Thursday, Carrasco had been released and was reportedly staying safely at a hotel in Caracas.
