Argentina Raises Reward to 8 Million Pesos in 1997 Disappearance of Bruno Gentiletti

The move seeks new tips in a Rosario case long investigated as a likely abduction.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Security formalized the increase Monday through Resolution 411/2026 in the Boletín Oficial, setting the reward at 8,000,000 pesos under the national rewards program.
  • The change followed a March 20 request from Rosario regional prosecutor Damián Cimino after years without useful information.
  • People with information can call the free, anonymous line 134, and the ministry will pay once a judge confirms the tip.
  • Authorities are sharing age‑progression images and highlight two markers: a roughly 3 cm scar on the right shoulder blade and a slight nasal septum deviation from surgery before 1997.
  • Early searches at La Florida found no sign of drowning, and officials plan wider national outreach to surface new leads for the family.
