Arrest in Argentina for threats against Pope León XIV
Argentina's State Intelligence Secretariat (SIDE) detained an individual accused of making death threats against Pope León XIV hours before the pontiff arrived in the country on an official visit, infobae.com reported.
SIDE's Operations Sub-secretariat forwarded the information to the Anti-Terrorism Investigation Unit Department (DUIA) of the Argentine Federal Police, which intervened in the case. The detention was completed less than 24 hours after authorities became aware of the threat.
The Federal Court of First Instance in Campana, headed by Judge Adrián González Charvay, ordered the arrest. SIDE emphasised the coordination between intelligence agencies, federal forces and the judiciary as a key factor in the speed of the intervention.
The agency also noted that it would continue working to anticipate risks and detect possible threats throughout the Pope's visit, with the aim of ensuring that the planned activities take place under safe conditions.
León XIV arrived in Argentina on Sunday as part of a tour of South America that also includes Uruguay and Peru. His stay will extend until 11 November, with religious and institutional activities in Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Luján.
On Monday he will visit the Small Cottolengo Don Orione in Claypole and celebrate Mass at the Monument of the Spanish. On Tuesday he will travel to Córdoba to conduct another service and meet with representatives of the clergy. The final day includes a visit to the Federal Penitentiary Complex of Devoto, a mass in front of the Basilica of Luján and subsequent departure to Lima.
