Overview
- Julien Février’s family told AFP on Wednesday he had been freed, and French outlets later reported his arrival at a Paris airport.
- He spent about 15 months in El Rodeo I near Caracas, a facility run by Venezuela’s military counterintelligence that former inmates say imposes harsh treatment.
- His brother says authorities never lodged formal charges in Venezuela or in France, though he was at one point accused of espionage.
- He had been described as the last French national still detained in Venezuela before this release.
- His family reports he is in a critical emotional and psychological state and will now seek urgent medical and mental health care.
