Alexandra Forseth says her family has met with the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs and is hopeful they will soon see progress in her father's case.
Forseth’s renewed optimism comes after she said her family met with Roger Carstens, Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs.The meeting happened after our government negotiated the release of one member of the Citgo 6, Gustavo Cardenas. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro recently expressed a willingness to improve relations with the U.S.
Citgo is owned by Petroleos de Venezuela, or PDVSA. The six Citgo executives were called to a last-minute meeting in Venezuela in 2017 and then promptly arrested. All were accused of corruption and embezzlement.Their families and the U.S. government have staunchly maintained their innocence. Forseth said the family’s meeting with state department officials also gave them a much-needed update on her father.
Forseth said her father was also able to write a quick letter in Carsten’s notebook. A short note that spoke volumes to Forseth about her father’s resolve.“That’s my dad, he’s good, he’s all right, he can write, he’s in good spirits,” said Forseth.
