Overview

• On July 21, Sergio Gustavo Razzari exploited a security lapse at the Policía Federal Argentina holding facility in Viedma to walk out of an unlocked cell.
• He was found within hours by the same División Unidad Operativa Federal Viedma agents at Bulevar Contin and Moreno as he approached Route Nacional N°3.
• Investigators are examining how routine custody protocols failed to secure a high-risk detainee and whether internal negligence played a role.
• He remains in federal custody pending the assignment of a vacancy in the national penitentiary system to begin serving his ten-year sentence for repeated sexual abuse of a minor.
• Authorities are reviewing detention practices and border-area security measures at the nearby Basilio Villarino bridge to prevent future interjurisdictional escapes.
