Overview
- The previously recorded message, shared to a family-run Instagram account by an anonymous source, was deleted by the sender after delivery, according to Giuliani’s wife.
- Giuliani was detained in Caracas in May 2025 and is formally accused by Venezuelan authorities of terrorism, narcotrafficking and mercenarism.
- In the video, made about a week after his arrest, he says he was held incommunicado, had not been told the charges and feared for his life while appealing for Argentine and international intervention.
- Family accounts say he spent months in a small Caracas command post, was transferred on December 21 and briefly called on January 16 to report he is at Yare II, module 2, with other foreign political prisoners.
- Relatives are pressing for diplomatic action, including appeals via the Nunciature, as his wife rejects official Venezuelan versions about his arrest.
