Emtrasur case
Last June, 19 Iranian and Venezuelan crew members were held in Argentina along with the plane they were boarding, whose personal documents were confiscated without any legal action against them.
After efforts by the national government and multiple marches demanding the release of the crew members, last September the release of 14 of these crew members was achieved.
Currently, the measure that prevented the return of the Emtrasur plane to Venezuela has already been annulled by Argentine judge Federico Villena. Despite this, the aircraft continues to be held in Argentine territory.
