Interpol Issues Red Notice for Juan Manuel Reverter in Agostina Jalabert Femicide Case

The international alert follows a Viedma court order authorizing detention to begin extradition.

Overview

  • Federal judge Ezequiel Humberto Andreani signed the January 6 order to detain Reverter so Mexico can seek his extradition in the Quintana Roo case.
  • Interpol’s red notice alleges Reverter beat and strangled Jalabert before staging a suicide, and it requests his provisional arrest worldwide.
  • Argentina’s Federal Police unit DUOF Viedma is conducting searches after leads near Route 1 between Viedma and El Cóndor, with investigators not ruling out travel within Argentina or to the United States, Belize, or Guatemala.
  • The case, initially treated as a possible suicide in 2023, was reclassified as femicide after an independent forensic report detailed injuries consistent with assault, torture, and sexual violence.
  • Family advocates point to early investigative missteps in Mexico, including allowing the suspect to leave and a rapid cremation, which complicated evidence gathering before the case advanced.
