Uber Kidnap Claim in Rosario Prompts Prosecutor Review After Driver Released

Fiscalía confirms it will review the formal complaint with a prosecutor to be assigned.

Overview

  • Luciana tracked her daughter’s Uber when the driver diverted toward Ruta 9, and police found ropes, machetes and other unusual items in the trunk.
  • The driver was detained at the scene but released after authorities determined no physical aggression occurred, so no kidnapping charges were filed.
  • A formal denunciation lodged Wednesday at a Centro Territorial de Denuncia has been accepted by Fiscalía, which will appoint a prosecutor to analyze the evidence.
  • Taxi and remis associations renewed calls to enforce Rosario’s ordinance 10.544 after major platforms like Uber and Didi failed to register under the municipal framework.
  • Uber says it has launched an internal security review of the driver’s account and is cooperating with authorities in the ongoing investigation.
