A US Navy sailor has been detained in Venezuela after traveling there unauthorized on personal business, the Pentagon said Wednesday.

Staff Sgt. Gordon Black, 34, is still in Russia and was sentenced in June to three years and nine months in prison after his girlfriend accused him of stealing from her. In December, the United States freed a close ally of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in exchange for the release of 10 Americans imprisoned in the South American country and the return of a fugitive defense contractor known as “Fat Leonard” who was at the center of a massive Pentagon bribery scandal.
