Actor Maxi Ghione Detained After Raid in Lehmann, Santa Fe

A criminal probe was opened following a complaint that alleges unlawful detention, threats and improper weapons possession and investigators will now examine seized firearms and witness accounts

Overview

  • Police carried out a search of Ghione’s home in Lehmann and detained the actor, a move that prosecutors say followed a formal complaint alleging he held a person against their will and threatened them with firearms.
  • The complaint, filed by Emiliano Ezequiel Terragona, says he was hired as a sex worker, detained for about five hours, threatened with guns and underpaid during the encounter.
  • Investigators seized multiple firearms during the raid, with several outlets reporting eight guns recovered, and those weapons have been entered as evidence for forensic analysis.
  • Prosecutor J. M. Puig of the Ministerio Público de la Acusación in Sunchales ordered the measures that led to the search and Ghione was transferred to Rafaela to remain at the justice system’s disposal while the inquiry continues.
  • Hours before his detention Ghione posted a message on Instagram to his son that drew public attention to the case and media coverage is likely to track further judicial steps including formal charges and forensic results.
