CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado's security chief has been released from jail a day after he was arrested on charges of gender violence.

Security chief Milciades Avila is set to appear in court every 30 days, Machado said in a post on X on Thursday, in which she thanked people for their support and contribution to "reverse this injustice."
