Italy expresses outrage to Venezuela regarding detention of NGO worker | Global News


Italy has summoned Venezuela’s chief diplomat in Rome to protest the lack of information on the fate of Italian national Alberto Trentini, who was arrested in Venezuela two months ago. The 45-year-old NGO worker has not been formally charged, causing concern for his family who are urging the government to work towards his release.

Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani expressed strong dissatisfaction with the lack of information on Trentini’s detention and challenged the expulsion of three Italian diplomats from Venezuela. Trentini was reported to have been arrested at a roadblock in Caracas in November and has been denied contact with his family. His mother highlighted his health issues and lack of access to medication.

The arrest comes amidst deteriorating relations between Italy and Venezuela, with Italy not recognizing Nicolas Maduro’s victory in the 2024 presidential elections. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the arrest of opposition leader Maria Corina Machado as an “unacceptable act of repression.”

Italy recently secured the release of journalist Cecilia Sala from Iran and Trentini’s mother expressed hope that the government would work with the same dedication to bring her son back to Italy unharmed. This article is based on an automated news agency feed.
