Two Citgo oil executives, brothers Alirio and Jose Luis Zambrano, have filed a lawsuit against their former employer for more than $400 million. The executives were detained in Venezuela for nearly five years under false pretenses, enduring horrendous prison conditions for crimes they did not commit.
The Zambranos were among six Citgo executives who traveled to Venezuela in 2017 for a meeting at the headquarters of PDVSA, Citgo's parent company. They were unexpectedly arrested by masked security agents during the visit.
