Federal prosecutor Carlos Stornelli has requested the case of death threats made against Patricia Bullrich and Santa Fe governor Maximiliano Pullaro to be elevated to trial after a video surfaced showing armed individuals making explicit threats.
In recent developments, federal prosecutor Carlos Stornelli has formally requested for the case surrounding death threats against Patricia Bullrich, former Minister of National Security, and Santa Fe Governor Maximiliano Pullaro to be elevated to trial. This request follows the release of a disturbing video on December 1, 2024, which displayed four alleged drug traffickers threatening the two officials while brandishing firearms. The video has been pivotal in establishing the seriousness of the threats, which sparked strong institutional concerns regarding safety within government ranks.
The video’s release coincided with a highly secretive legal operation led by federal judge María Servini, resulting in the arrest of the suspects on December 5, 2024, in Puerto General San Martín, located roughly 30 kilometers from Rosario. The entire situation underscores the escalating tensions in Argentina regarding drug trafficking and the often violent threats against public officials who are involved in combating organized crime.
The impact of these threats has been significant, prompting the government to respond with fostered security measures for its officials and a renewed commitment to tackling issues related to narcotics and organized crime. As the case unfolds, it is expected to draw widespread attention, highlighting the intersection of law, governance, and public safety in an increasingly volatile environment.
