- The message thanks President Javier Milei, Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva, Senator Patricia Bullrich, provincial leaders, Gendarmería units, and civic figures including Juan Grabois.
- The AFA is credited for facilitating contact through Venezuela’s football federation and for providing the aircraft that flew Gallo to Ezeiza on March 2.
- Gallo was accused of espionage and held incommunicado at El Rodeo I for 448 days after entering Venezuela from Colombia in December 2024, and he is now back in Argentina under medical care and protection.
