Maxi Ghione Released After Weapons Seizure and Formal Imputations

Denying the allegations in a video, the actor promised a live account after his release under judicial restrictions as the provincial inquiry continues.

Overview

  • The case stems from an encounter on Sept. 20 when the complainant says he was hired as a sex worker, was held for hours, saw firearms displayed and later received threats.
  • Police executed a search of Ghione’s home in Lehmann and seized multiple firearms, with reports citing five weapons including a carbine; the Policía de Investigaciones (PDI) and the Ministerio Público de la Acusación (MPA) lead the probe.
  • Fiscal María Cecilia Doro formally imputed Ghione for alleged threats and illegitimate possession of weapons, and investigators describe the imputación as an investigative step, not a finding of guilt.
  • Ghione was detained after the raid, released under procedural limits that bar contact with the denunciante and require fortnightly police check‑ins, and on Monday he posted a video denying wrongdoing and announcing a forthcoming live to give his version.
  • The inquiry continues and could produce further measures or charges; the publicity has raised reputational concerns for Ghione and for friends named in coverage, while legal proceedings will determine facts now recorded in the judicial file.
