Venezuela judge grants appeals to jailed 'Citgo6' US oil executives
The six oil execs detained in Venezuela for four years on corruption charges have been granted a hearing before an appeals court, a rare decision by the judicial system in the South American country.
Tomeu Vadell, Jose Luis Zambrano, Alirio Zambrano, Jorge Toledo, Gustavo Cardenas and Jose Pereira, known as the “Citgo 6,” were taken away by masked security agents during a meeting in Caracas in 2017.
The executives are to appear before a three-judge panel scheduled for next Tuesday. Washington has accused Venezuela of using the men as a political bargaining chip.
