«Luigi Gasperin is also free. It is now in the headquarters of our embassy in Caracas. In recent days we had obtained the release order. Tonight he was released from prison.” Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani writes this on X.
The Italian entrepreneur released from prison in Venezuela during the night is struggling but is well and would like to stay in the country.
The release order of the 77-year-old Italian-Venezuelan had already been issued, but had not yet been implemented by one of the Venezuelan administrations. “He announced that he would like to return to the city of Maturin, in the state of Monagas, where his company is located,” the Farnesina reported.
