Argentina Arrests 21-Year-Old Over Online Death Threat to President Milei

Investigators traced a pseudonymous social media account to a González Catán home using IP analysis authorized by federal courts.

Overview

  • Federal police detained the alleged administrator of the 'Martiancorp' account during a court-ordered raid on Velazco Street in La Matanza.
  • Officers seized a CPU, a router, a mobile phone, and other electronic devices for forensic examination.
  • The case began in early September after a public post stated, “On September 8 I am going to kill the president of Argentina… I will be a legend.”
  • The probe moved from a Presidential Security alert to the División Delitos Constitucionales, with Judge Julián Ercolini overseeing initial measures and Judge Martín Alejandro Ramos ordering the search.
  • Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva credited the DFI and framed the operation as part of efforts to prevent violent or terror-related acts, as the PFA separately reported dismantling a narcotics ring in José C. Paz.
