Overview

• Judge Gabriel Costa signed a resolution on July 16 enrolling Elián “L-Gante” Valenzuela in the Registro de Deudores Alimentarios Morosos and imposing a travel ban until he fulfills his child support obligations.
• The Dirección Nacional de Migraciones has been instructed to prevent the singer’s departure when he returns from his European tour.
• L-Gante insists he is current on payments, says he has not received formal notification of the ruling and is awaiting official documents.
• Tamara Báez’s lawyer, Juan Pablo Merlo, criticized the payments sent so far—around ARS 700,000—as insufficient and called the situation “shameful.”
• The case underscores Argentina’s use of debtor registries and travel restrictions to enforce child support compliance among high-profile individuals.
