Santa Fe Offers Eight-Million-Peso Reward in Qualified Homicide Probe of Ex-Newell’s Player

New confidential tip lines will support a probe that is scrutinizing stadium-area surveillance to identify suspects.

Overview

  • The provincial government has pledged an eight-million-peso bounty for information leading to the arrest or identification of those responsible for Leonardo Ferragut’s death.
  • Prosecutor Patricio Saldutti has upgraded the case from attempted homicide to qualified homicide to reflect the severity of the 2024 attack.
  • Despite the reward announcement, no arrests or formal suspects have been named since Ferragut was assaulted near the Coloso del Parque Independencia.
  • Investigators are prioritizing the analysis of security-camera footage and summoning eyewitnesses to break the months-long investigative standstill.
  • Authorities have established multiple confidential reporting channels—including 911, social media, email and in-person visits to prosecutor’s offices—with guaranteed protection for informants’ identities.
