Jorge Rial Cites Ford Falcon Outside His Home as Intimidation as Dispute Over Reported Search Request Deepens

Patricia Bullrich disputes reports that Security sought a raid over leaked audios, with no established link between the car and the government.

Overview

  • Rial reported that a Ford Falcon with a man inside was parked outside his home, alarming neighbors and drawing a police visit.
  • He tied the episode to dictatorship-era symbolism and blamed President Javier Milei and Vice President Victoria Villarruel, describing it as an act of intimidation.
  • The journalist said he had previously received calls from people posing as friends who sought information, which he viewed as part of the pressure.
  • Media reported that the Ministry of Security requested an allanamiento related to leaked audios of Karina Milei, a characterization Bullrich publicly rejected as disputed.
  • In new remarks, Rial called the Falcons a government “fetish,” accused the administration of a turn against press freedom, and said he is willing to hand over his phone if authorities pursue searches.
