Pence calls on Venezuela to release Citgo executives

[ELUNIVERSAL] The vice president of the United States, Mike Pence, urged the Government of Nicolás Maduro on Tuesday to immediately release six US oil executives who have been imprisoned in the South American country for more than a year without being prosecuted.

The prisoners - one US citizen and the other permanent resident - are being "illegally detained" by President Nicolás Maduro, denounced Pence, reported AP.

However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
he admitted that it is unlikely that they will be released until Maduro is no longer in power.

Pence made his comments when meeting in the White House with relatives of the prisoners, who worked for Citgo, the US subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa). They were tossed in the slammer

in November 2017 and charged with embezzlement, allegedly being summoned to Caracas for a last-minute meeting.

The United States and more than fifty countries do not recognize Maduro's government because they consider that the last presidential elections were plagued with fraud. Instead they recognize the opposition Juan Guaidó, president of the National Assembly, as the president in charge of the country.
