Government Files Federal Case Over Milei Caravan as Road-Safety Crises Mount

The move heightens political stakes, with parallel probes into a courier’s death, a suspected drunk‑driving crash in Rosario, plus fatal collisions on key routes.

Overview

  • Argentina’s Security Ministry lodged a federal criminal complaint over incidents during President Javier Milei’s caravan in Lomas de Zamora, citing alleged coordinated actions and naming three individuals, under Judge Federico Armella.
  • Officials framed the conduct as intimidation and attack on authority with criminal coparticipation, while critical coverage in Página/12 disputed any magnicide attempt and portrayed the rally as a poorly attended event.
  • In La Plata, UFI Nº 14 led by María Scarpino is gathering camera footage and evidence on the death of delivery worker Agustín Nahuel Ferreyra, as courier groups plan a September 1 protest demanding security measures.
  • Rosario authorities detained the driver of a Volkswagen Amarok after a crash that injured two motorcyclists; a municipal official confirmed a blood‑alcohol level of 1.57 g/l and the case moved to the Fiscalía de Siniestralidad Vial.
  • Separate fatal crashes remained under investigation: two motorcyclists died in a Route 34 collision that led a fiscal to order vehicle seizures and the trucker’s apprehension, and in San Luis a grandfather and his 12‑year‑old grandson died after their car hit a truck’s rear, with truck alcohol tests negative.
