21-Year-Old Arrested in Buenos Aires Over Social Media Death Threat Against President Milei

Investigators traced the 'Martiancorp' account to González Catán through IP data.

Overview

  • Federal police raided a residence on Velazco Street in La Matanza under an order from Judge Martín Alejandro Ramos and detained the suspect.
  • The probe began in September after the PFA’s Presidential Security Division flagged a public post stating, “On September 8 I’m going to kill the president… I will be a legend.”
  • Judge Julián Ercolini authorized deeper investigative steps that helped link the pseudonymous account to a 21-year-old operator.
  • Agents seized a CPU, a router, a cellphone and other devices, which are being examined as evidence in the threats case.
  • Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva praised the DFI’s work, while judicial authorities have the suspect formally imputado for threats and are assessing possible third-party involvement.
