Overview

• Armando Andrés Mego’s Villa Pueyrredón home was invaded on July 16, during which his daughter was held for hours and only a notebook was taken, suggesting an intimidation motive
• City police conducted raids in Villa Raffo and Villa Lynch, leading to the detention of two 17-year-olds with no prior records
• Criminal and Correctional Court No. 29, under prosecutor Lucio Herrera, has the case under a secrecy order as evidence gathering continues
• Libertarian deputy Adrián Brizuela has seized on the attack to denounce the 3 billion-peso Fiesta Nacional del Poncho as wasteful “pan y circo”
• Organizers from Mego’s Hojas del Sur and La Libertad Avanza allies promote La Derecha Fest as a fiscally responsible alternative to traditional state-funded festivals
