Argentina Detains Two in Mendoza Over Neo-Nazi Posts and Death Threats Against Milei

Investigators used open-source intelligence to identify the profiles, with prosecutors pursuing potential charges under Law 23.592.

Overview

  • Federal police carried out court-ordered raids in Villanueva (Guaymallén) and the Paulo VI neighborhood (Godoy Cruz), detaining two Argentine men aged 37 and 43.
  • Authorities seized two firearms (.22 and 9 mm), 31 pistol rounds, 37 shotgun shells, phone devices, and far-right paraphernalia including an imperial eagle cloth and Celtic cross items.
  • One detainee bore a swastika tattoo, and materials with neo-Nazi symbolism were confiscated along with documents deemed relevant to the case.
  • Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva condemned the content as calls to kill the President and to execute the Jewish community, pledging zero tolerance for antisemitism.
  • The probe began in October after a Mendoza antiterrorism intelligence report, and the detainees and evidence are now in federal judicial hands as the investigation advances.
