Palermo Psychologist Says Tinder Date Drugged Him Before Trio Tortured and Robbed Him

Police opened an investigation after hospital treatment followed by a formal complaint.

Overview

  • The 38-year-old psychologist from Misiones had chatted for about six weeks with a Tinder contact he knew as “Julián Gutiérrez” before inviting him to his Palermo apartment.
  • He alleges his drink was spiked, he lost consciousness for roughly three hours, and he awoke bound as two accomplices joined the assault.
  • The victim reports beatings and knife attacks, with a stab wound to the forearm and a deep wound to the quadriceps, before a neighbor took him to Hospital Rivadavia where he was stabilized.
  • The assailants demanded cash and left with his savings, AR$500,000 in rent money, two phones, a computer, clothing and keys, according to his account.
  • Investigators are reviewing building security footage and a police report noting a 4:30 a.m. response, while the Tinder profile was deleted and his phone search history erased, as reported by the victim; the case remains open with no public arrests.
