Argentina Arrests Mar del Plata Man After FBI Tip Over Posts Endorsing Hamas Attacks

An FBI alert triggered a court-directed cyber probe that identified an X user, resulting in a detention on public intimidation charges.

Overview

  • Federal investigators raided a Mar del Plata residence under Judge Santiago Inchausti’s orders, arresting an adult suspect linked to antisemitic, pro-Hamas posts on X.
  • The operation involved the Policía Federal Argentina’s Investigations Department and the Unidad de Investigación Antiterrorista with oversight from the specialized cybercrime prosecutor.
  • Officers seized three laptops, a desktop PC, two tablets, two flash drives, a cellphone, and other items for forensic analysis.
  • Authorities report the posts promoted judeophobia, encouraged the use of firearms, and validated extremist content tied to Hamas.
  • The detainee remains at the court’s disposal on the imputed charge of intimidación pública as prosecutors examine the seized devices and continue the case.
