Overview
- Argentina added the Muslim Brotherhood chapters in Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan to the national RePET terrorism registry, making the measure effective upon publication.
- The listing enables domestic actions including asset freezes, transaction restrictions, and enhanced migratory and financial alerts to curb potential operations in the country.
- The step was coordinated by the Presidency with the Foreign Ministry, Security Ministry, Justice Ministry and the State Intelligence Secretariat, with Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva signing the resolution.
- Officials say confidential reports describe transnational structures, violent-extremist messaging, and links that pose a serious, multifaceted threat to national security.
- The move follows a U.S. designation of the same chapters a day earlier and is framed as reinforcing cooperation with partners such as Israel, Paraguay, the UAE and Egypt, alongside prior Argentine listings like Hamas and the Cartel de los Soles.
