Raid in Lehmann: Actor Maxi Ghione arrested for threats and alleged illegal deprivation of liberty
Actor Maxi Ghione was detained on Tuesday, 29 September 2026 following a raid on his residence in Lehmann, Santa Fe, according to elintransigente.com. The operation was carried out in connection with a complaint of alleged illegal deprivation of liberty and qualified threats, and Ghione was placed at the disposal of the judiciary.
The Investigative Police (PDI) arrived at the residence on the basis of a statement from a sex worker who claimed to have come to the location after being hired by the actor. The complainant stated that he remained detained against his will inside the home, circumstances which prompted judicial intervention and the subsequent raid.
The complaint includes two charges: illegal deprivation of liberty and qualified threats. The investigative hypothesis holds that the sex worker would not have been able to leave of his own volition, although that claim still needs to be verified by the judiciary, which will need to analyse the account and circumstances of the incident.
During the raid, investigators also seized firearms found in the residence. This material was incorporated into the case file along with other evidence gathered during the operation. The presence of the firearms was recorded in the proceedings related to the Lehmann residence.
Ghione had moved to Santa Fe after withdrawing from Buenos Aires in recent times. During that period, the actor had stepped back from the media, began teaching theatre classes and opened a restaurant establishment in the province. That activity was interrupted by the raid and arrest.
Professionally, Ghione has a television career that includes appearances in fictional productions such as Montecristo, Casi Ángeles and La 1-5/18, prior to his move to Santa Fe.
The investigation will continue with the actor under investigation. The next step will be to corroborate the account given by the sex worker and determine whether the reported facts fall under the charges of illegal deprivation of liberty and qualified threats. The seized firearms and other evidence gathered during the operation were incorporated into the judicial case file.
