The five crew members of the plane Emtrasur who still remained in Argentina after the imposition of a groundless court case arrived in the country this Friday, according to the Minister for Transportation, Ramón Celestino Velazquez Araguayán, reported through his Twitter account.
«The heroes of the Emtrasur crew, the 5 remaining members, arrived in Venezuela after 4 months and 15 days kidnapped in Argentina without any type of Justification. They failed to break the morale of these men and women of the country. We continue to win! », The minister posted on his Twitter account.
This group of crew members, made up of two Venezuelans and three Iranians, arrived at the Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía, La Guaira state (central-north), and were received by both family members and co-workers.
The judicial ruling established that “there is no merit to order the prosecution or to order the dismissal of Gholamreza Ghasemi, Abdolbaset Mohammadi, Saeid Valizadeh, Víctor Manuel Pérez and Mario José Arraga Urdaneta in relation to the fact for which they were investigated in this case. ».
Last September 14 of its companions they had already managed to return to Venezuela.
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.
