The head of the Argentine National Gendarmerie, Claudio Miguel Brilloni, filed a complaint for slander and insult against the national deputy Marcela Marina Pagano, following a series of publications, with false content and information, made on the social network X. At the same time, he warned that her messages on social
networks constitute a clear threat to the internal order and serious damage to the discipline
of the Force.According to the court filing, Brilloni, in his capacity as the head of the force, explained that the first case took place on April 8, 2026 at 4:14 p.m., following a message published in Pagano's personal account.

In that post, the deputy said: “In the Gendarmerie 'there's no silver'... but only for junior personnel. While in the detachments they make 'the vaquita' to buy a bottle of water, there is $38 million for the coffee of Commander Brilloni, partner of the minister @AleMonteoliva Ajusté for those at the bottom. Privileges for the dome. These things happen when 'public controls' are resolved between 1000 threads. Good from Casta! Isn't this what we came to change, @JMilei? ”.
The complaint also mentions a second publication made on April 12, 2026 at 12:42 p.m., in which Pagano said: “The head of the Gendarmerie Brilloni, @AleMonteoliva's boyfriend, follows the same moral as @madorni: he spent US$ 2 million to buy berets, which were never used because even today the gendarme uniform requires a hat! The serious thing: he paid them $150,000 per unit, when the same local cap is worth $50,000. Where did this' overpricing 'go? To which pocket? #conlatuyacontribuyente”.
According to the letter submitted, Brilloni maintains that these statements constitute an “insulting and insulting” action, with “clear ironic and mendacious content”, aimed at “defaming my person and my management as Chief of the Argentine National Gendarmerie, as well as with respect to my private life”.
