Argentina Expels Peruvian With Seven Convictions After Shoplifting Arrest

The Dirección Nacional de Migraciones carried out a permanent ban to enforce administrative removal of a non‑citizen with repeated property‑crime convictions.

Overview

  • Authorities executed the expulsion this week after formally notifying Heric Manuel Arteaga Buleje at Juzgado Nacional N.º 1 and escorting him out of the country via Ezeiza airport.
  • The measure follows his arrest on August 22 in Balvanera when a shopkeeper caught him concealing a rotopercutora and police detained him.
  • Official records cited in coverage show seven convictions for thefts and one attempted robbery dated between 2017 and June 2024 that were reviewed by migration officials.
  • The removal involved coordinated operations: DUTIA moved the detainee to the national court for notification and federal forces then transferred him to the airport for departure.
  • The Dirección Nacional de Migraciones imposed a permanent prohibition on re‑entry, highlighting a pattern of using administrative migration rules to remove non‑citizens with repeated criminal records.
