Overview
- The La Rioja civil tribunal issued the ruling this week, ordering a payment that rises to roughly 30 million pesos after interest on a 4 million peso base award.
- The victim, a provincial police officer, was targeted for years with insults and false claims spread from personal and fake accounts created by his ex-partner.
- Judges linked the anonymous profiles to the defendant using witness testimony, repeated language patterns, and private details, rather than technical IP tracing.
- The court also ordered the defendant to delete the posts and publish the judgment on the same networks and on the judiciary’s site, with a 100,000‑peso daily fine and possible asset seizure if she does not comply.
- The attacks began after the 2019 breakup and led to an internal inquiry that stalled the officer’s promotions, and lawyers say the lengthy case shows how interest updates can greatly enlarge civil awards in Argentina.
