Man Detained in Gerli for Selling Nazi Uniforms and Weapons Online

The seizure of weapons with Nazi paraphernalia has led prosecutors to open a terrorism investigation and order forensic analysis of seized devices.

Overview

  • Police located the seller after a social-media commercial listing for military uniforms drew investigators to a false profile linked to an online shop called Uniforme Store.
  • Law enforcement units from the Superintendence for Complex Crimes and the Counterterrorism Directorate carried out a court-authorized raid on the Gerli home and arrested Diego Fernando Martínez.
  • Officers seized multiple firearms, about 150 rounds of ammunition, two cell phones, a solid-state drive and abundant Nazi items including jackets, helmets, insignia, daggers and a copy of Mein Kampf.
  • The Juzgado de Primera Instancia de Quilmes has charged Martínez and opened an inquiry for terrorism and related offenses while digital and forensic exams are performed on the recovered devices.
  • Investigators say the physical evidence in the home, such as entrance tiles with swastika motifs, plus the online sales record will be used to map the seller’s network and inform possible wider security or legal actions.
