Pompeo: We had nothing to do with said operation (CNN Spanish) — Guillermo Heredia, lawyer for the American detained in Venezuela, Matthew Heath, told CNN on Tuesday that a delegation led by the United States presidential envoy for hostages, Rogers Carstens , visited Heath in the military hospital in a meeting in which two other high-ranking State Department officials, whose names he did not specify, and the defense were present. Heredia explained that the meeting took place in the room where he is confined in the health center and that both Heath and Heredia were able to detail the legal, emotional and health situation related to the case. Heredia assures that “they are waiting for the fruits of the meeting” and working on the defense of the case. Heath is one of at least eight Americans currently known to be detained in Venezuela. On Monday, referring to the visit to Caracas of a delegation from the government of Joe Biden, Heredia said that he hoped that “it will not only resolve his case but that of other US citizens who are in the same conditions.” In this sense, he stressed that, although they were waiting for the arrival of this commission, they officially found out with the announcement made by President Nicolás Maduro. He specified that “he hopes that the news is that Matthew boards the plane that he brought to this commission.” Regarding the stability of Heath’s state of health and if this could warrant special care for his eventual transfer, Heredia assured that “the release of any person happens because there is no state of health that prevents it. He added that “the cures have had their effect, as well as the medications”, in his opinion, after visiting him daily in the hospital, he would be fit. Matthew is currently being held at the Carlos Arvelo Military Hospital as a result of a suicide attempt that caused injuries to his left arm. His defense attorney describes his situation as stable, ensures that he remains alert and is out of danger. He points out that Heath remains in the health center, in the custody of prison affairs personnel and members of the National Guard. Jonathan Franks, a spokesman for Matthew Heath’s family, said Monday that “if true, the reports of SPEHA Carstens’ trip to Caracas are an encouraging sign, both for Matthew and for the many Americans being held hostage in Venezuela, with whom the Heath family stands shoulder to shoulder”. In addition to Heath, five of the six US oil executives known collectively as the “Citgo 6” (Tomeu Vadell, Jorge Toledo, Alirio José Zambrano, José Luis Zambrano and José Ángel Pereira) who were arrested in Venezuela more than four years ago are detained. and are accused of embezzlement. Heath was accused of espionage. All have pleaded not guilty to the charges. For their part, retired US soldiers Luke Denman and Airan Berry are sentenced to 20 years in prison for their participation in the “Operation Gideon” case, a failed civil-military maneuver against the questioned president Nicolás Maduro. According to the Attorney General’s Office, both confessed to having been hired to participate in the operation.
