- Two U.S. citizens were released by Venezuela on Tuesday - one of them a member of the 'Citgo Six' group of imprisoned oil executives
- The Citgo Six are a half dozen American oil executives held for three years in Venezuela after being found guilty of corruption charges
- Gustavo Cardenas, one of those six, was detained in 2017
- Jorge Alberto Fernandez, a Cuban-American, was a tourist who was accused of terrorism for bringing a drone into Venezuela in February 2021
- 'These men are fathers who lost precious time with their children and everyone they love,' President Biden said in a statement
2016 Rosneft loan
In a 2016 deal, Venezuela pledged 49.9% of Citgo to Russian oil firm Rosneft as collateral for a $1.5 billion loan.[43] Both Republicans and Democrats in the United States urged oversight on this deal, describing Citgo's sale to Russia as a risk to the national security of the United States.[34]
2020 bond
In 2020, Citgo borrowed money in the form of a bond, and used 50.1% of the company's equity as collateral. If the bond is not repaid, the institutional investors that lent the money will obtain ownership of the 50.1%.[44]
Gerhard Fritz Kurt Schröder (German: [ˈɡeːɐ̯haʁt fʁɪts kʊʁt ˈʃʁøːdɐ] (
listen); born 7 April 1944) is a German retired politician, consultant, and lobbyist, who served as the chancellor of Germany from 1998 to 2005. From 1999 to 2004, he was also the Leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). As Chancellor, he led a coalition government of the SPD and Alliance 90/The Greens. Schröder was nominated to become a director of the Russian state-owned company Gazprom in February 2022,[1] and he has been chairman of Russian energy company Rosneft since 2017.
Schröder was a lawyer before becoming a full-time politician, and he served as Minister President of Lower Saxony (1990–1998) before becoming Chancellor. Following the 2005 federal election, which his party lost, and after three weeks of negotiations, he stood down as Chancellor in favour of Angela Merkel of the rival Christian Democratic Union. He is the chairman of the board of Nord Stream AG and of Rosneft, after having been hired as a global manager by investment bank Rothschild, and also the chairman of the board of football club Hannover 96.
Schröder has been criticized for colluding with Vladimir Putin's Russia and being complicit in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. On 1 March 2022, Schröder's entire staff including long-time office manager Albrecht Funk resigned due to Schröder's alliances with Russia and Putin directly.[2] On 8 March 2022 the Public Prosecutor General initiated proceedings related to accusations against Schröder of complicity in crimes against humanity due to his role in Russian state-owned corporations.[3] On the same day his party initiated proceedings to expel him from the SPD.[4]
Igor Ivanovich Sechin (Russian: Игорь Иванович Сечин; born 7 September 1960) is a Russian oligarch and a government official, considered a close ally and "de facto deputy" of Vladimir Putin.[2]
Sechin has been a confidante of Russian leader Vladimir Putin since the early 1990s. Sechin was chief of staff to Putin when he was the deputy mayor of St. Petersburg in 1994. When Putin became President in 2000, Sechin became his deputy chief of staff, overseeing security services and energy issues in Russia.[3][4] Putin appointed Sechin as chairman of Rosneft, the Russian state oil company in 2004.[5][4] He was as Deputy Prime Minister of Russia in Vladimir Putin's cabinet from 2008 to 2012.[6] He is currently the chief executive officer, president and chairman of the management board of Rosneft.[5]
Sechin is often described as one of Putin's most conservative counselors and the leader of the Kremlin's Siloviki faction, a lobby gathering former security services agents.[7][8][9][a] He has been sanctioned by some foreign governments following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. His nickname is Darth Vader.[10][11]

南米ベネズエラで６日、任期満了に伴う総選挙（一院制、定数１６７）が投開票され、故チャベス前大統領以来、「反米」を掲げ社会主義的な政策を進めてきた急進左派の与党が、路線転換を訴えた野党連合に敗れた。チャベス氏が初当選した１９９８年以降、国政選挙の野党勝利は初めて。国内政治の転換点となるだけでなく、中南米地域の政治情勢にも影響を与えそうだ。
選管発表によると、７日未明時点で、野党はこれまでの倍近い９９議席を獲得し過半数を占めた。与党は４６議席と伸びず、まだ２２議席が未定となっている。投票率は７４・２５％だった。
