A man was arrested for making death threats against Patricia Bullrich

The man was formally arrested and placed at the disposal of the federal justice

An Argentine citizen was arrested in the City of Buenos Aires for issuing death threats to the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, through social media.

The arrest was carried out by the Argentine Federal Police (PFA) as part of an investigation initiated by the National Ministry of Security.

Violent messages and explicit threats

The case began on March 20 following a complaint from the Ministry itself, which reported a series of intimidating messages directed at the national official. The posts, made on social media, contained threats such as:

"Doesn't it hurt to be such a fascist? People like you deserve to die before we hire a hitman on the Deep Web to have you taken out here, dear little piece of trash."

"I'm going to kill you. Someday you'll enter Congress.  Before you tighten the screws again and beat up retirees like in 2001."

Given the seriousness of the statements, the PFA's Anti-Terrorism Investigation Unit intervened and identified the author of the messages as L. G. G., 37 years old, residing on Luzuriaga Street.

Search and findings

On a wooden table there are books, brochures, a newspaper titled Anarquista, a mobile phone, and a desktop computer next to a poster of the Argentine Federal Police on the back wall.

During the operation, the following items were seized:

  • A homemade explosive device of the "Molotov" type
  • A cell phone
  • A computer CPU
  • Anarchist literature, pamphlets, and material with anti-system slogans

The man was formally detained and placed at the disposal of the federal judiciary.

Recent precedent: threats against President Javier Milei

This case adds to another recent episode. On June 18, a Kirchnerist activist was arrested for threatening to kill President Javier Milei during a live broadcast. The incident occurred while he was heading to a march in support of Cristina Kirchner, following her conviction in the Vialidad case.

From a van, the individual declared to the cameras: "We're going to kill Milei." A few minutes later, the Airport Security Police (PSA) intercepted him on the Riccheri highway and proceeded to arrest him.
