Argentine Police Arrest 21-Year-Old Over Online Death Threat to President Milei

IP tracing plus a court-ordered raid tied the X account “Martiancorp” to a home in González Catán.

Overview

  • The PFA detained the suspect in La Matanza after a September alert over a public post on X that explicitly threatened to kill President Javier Milei.
  • Federal Court No. 12 under Judge Julián Ercolini ordered intensified digital work, and Federal Court No. 1 of Morón led by Judge Martín Alejandro Ramos authorized the search that resulted in the arrest.
  • Investigators linked IP activity to a Velazco Street address in González Catán and seized a CPU, a router, a cellphone, and other electronic devices.
  • The detainee is charged with threats and remains at the disposal of the federal courts while forensic analysis continues and potential third-party involvement is examined.
  • The Ministry of Security and the PFA’s investigations department framed the operation as preventing violent or terrorist acts, and officials also reported an unrelated narcotics bust the same day.
