Seven detained Americans freed in exchange for release of 'narco nephews' in Venezuela prisoner swap
Fox News
The White House on Saturday announced that Venezuela had freed seven U.S. prisoners in exchange for two Venezuelans who are relatives of Nicolas Maduro's wife.
The seven included five oil executives of Houston-based Citgo held for nearly five years after attending a meeting at the headquarters of the Venezuelan state-run oil firm PDVSA. They were hauled away by masked security agents in Caracas and convicted of embezzlement on a trial marred by irregularities — the State Department said they were wrongfully detained.

Also freed were Heath, a former U.S. Marine corporal arrested on weapons charges at a roadblock, and Khan, who was arrested this year. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
