Raquel Velásquez denunció la detención prolongada de su esposo, Teniente Coronel Víctor Soto, después de que su sentencia terminara el 9 de septiembre de 2025.

Soto fue condenado originalmente en marzo de 2018 a siete años y medio por "traición a la patria" y otros cargos.

He was transferred under deception on November 3, 2025, and held incommunicado until January, then confinement at Fuerte Guaicaipuro.

Después de 90 días de aislamiento, su estado físico se deterioró severamente, como se observó durante una visita supervisada de 30 minutos en marzo.

The report from La Patilla, an exile media outlet with a strongly anti-Maduro alignment, presents allegations by Raquel Velásquez that her husband, Lt. Col. Víctor Soto, remains detained without explanation after his sentence ended on September 9, 2025. The claims include that Soto was originally sentenced in March 2018 to seven and a half years for treason and other charges, and that he was transferred under deception on November 3, 2025, held incommunicado until January, and then confined at Fuerte Guaicaipuro. However, none of these claims have corroboration in our corpus (evidence_count: 0), and the source's reliability is rated C, with caveats of clickbait tendencies and mixing opinion with news. Thus, the epistemic status is merely asserted, not corroborated.

The source profile suggests that La Patilla may amplify unverified rumors, so the claims should be treated with caution. The allegations point to potential arbitrary detention and due process violations within the Venezuelan military justice system, which are serious human rights concerns. The involvement of entities like Ramo Verde and Fuerte Guaicaipuro, and the Ministerio Público, indicates a high-stakes case. To strengthen the assessment, independent verification from Venezuelan court records or official statements would be needed. The open questions provide falsifiers: if Soto is released or his case resolved within 90 days, or if the Public Ministry presents evidence or schedules a trial, the narrative would be challenged. Until then, the report remains an unverified allegation from an opposition-aligned source.

The claims, made testable

• asserted — check unavailable Raquel Velásquez denounced the prolonged detention of her husband, Lt. Col. Víctor Soto, after his sentence ended on September 9, 2025. (evidence: not measured)
• asserted — check unavailable Soto was originally sentenced in March 2018 to seven and a half years for 'traición a la patria' and other charges. (evidence: not measured)
• asserted — check unavailable He was transferred under deception on November 3, 2025, and held incommunicado until January, then confined at Fuerte Guaicaipuro. (evidence: not measured)

Pattern: 672 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on Arbitrary detention, Human rights, Military justice, Due process.

What would change the assessment

• If Víctor Soto is released or his case is resolved by a court ruling within 90 days (within 90 days — Venezuelan court records or news reports)
• If the Public Ministry presents evidence of the alleged riot or schedules a trial within 90 days (within 90 days — Venezuelan judicial system announcements)
