The prediction will resolve to YES depending on the date of official announcement of detention. "before" implies at most 23:59 of the previous day.
Resolution criteria
This market resolves based on the date of the official announcement of Alexander Granko Arteaga's detention.
Date Resolution: The market will resolve to the exact date of the official announcement.
Binary/Timeline Resolution: If resolving as a binary option (e.g., "before" a target date), the market will resolve to YES if the official announcement occurs before the specified deadline. As requested by the creator, "before" a given date means the announcement must happen at or before 23:59 of the previous day (Venezuela Standard Time, VET / UTC-4).
Official Announcement: Resolution requires a formal, public statement, broadcast, or official release from Venezuelan government authorities (such as the Ministry of Interior, Justice and Peace, or the Attorney General / Ministerio Público), or recognized international state authorities (such as U.S. federal agencies) confirming his detention or arrest.
Media Verification: Reports from independent journalists or media outlets will only trigger resolution if they present direct, verifiable confirmation from official state sources.
No Detention: If no official announcement of his detention is made by the market's closing date, the market will resolve to N/A (or NO, if binary).

Alexander Enrique Granko Arteaga is a high-ranking Venezuelan military officer who has served as the director of the Special Affairs Division (DAE) of the Directorate-General of Military Counter-Intelligence (DGCIM). He has been sanctioned by the United States, the European Union, and other nations for alleged human rights violations, arbitrary detentions, and torture. In late May 2026, unconfirmed media reports and speculation emerged regarding his potential detention, but no formal confirmation has been verified by state authorities.
