Córdoba scientist Alejandro Fracaroli, 44 years old, has been missing for over a month in Germany, where he was on an academic stay in Karlsruhe. His family and colleagues reported his absence after losing contact on October 13, when he had his last communication via video call. The Argentine scientific community is following the search efforts with growing concern.
His partner, Gabriela Furlan, said that the conversation with Fracaroli was completely normal, but that same night she stopped receiving his messages. The following day, local authorities were notified and the international search protocol was activated. Since then, the Argentine consulate in Frankfurt and the Argentine embassy in Germany have been involved.
"A search request was activated from the Argentine consulate to the German authorities," Furlan explained, who is the mother of the researcher's two children. Fracaroli had traveled to Karlsruhe in September 2023 to work on a research line in nanotechnology. His work was carried out at the prestigious Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
