Overview
- A man detained temporarily at Comisaría Decimonovena reported a missing credit card after his release, triggering a criminal complaint and internal review.
- Investigators requested the card statement, mapped suspicious transactions to specific times and stores, and obtained merchant security footage that reportedly shows the purchaser was a member of the police force.
- The accused officer performed the 'llavero' role, the post responsible for holding keys and safeguarding detainees’ belongings while they are in custody.
- A magistrate ordered the officer's immediate arrest and the Jefatura de la Policía de Misiones placed him on provisional leave as an internal sumario and a criminal probe continue.
- Authorities are still investigating the full scope of the alleged misconduct and the case raises questions about procedural safeguards for detainee property and possible disciplinary and criminal sanctions.
