Man, 26, Arrested in San Nicolás Over Death Threats to Journalist Luis Ventura

Investigators will analyze two seized phones to trace the source of repeated antisemitic WhatsApp threats.

Overview

  • Police detained the 26-year-old at a home on León Guruciaga 1300 in San Nicolás on Friday after a court-ordered raid.
  • Judge Sandra Vites of Criminal and Correctional Court No. 59 ordered urgent steps in a case that alleges aggravated coercion.
  • Agents seized two cell phones that now go to forensic review to link any user to the threatening WhatsApp accounts.
  • The messages began on April 20, 2025, and returned on June 12, June 28, and September 2 from changing local and foreign numbers, which investigators view as systematic harassment.
  • Ventura linked the first messages to a TV appearance where he had shared information of public interest.
