Argentine actress captured in Lima with Red Notice for fraud case in Mexico
An actress of Argentine origin identified as María Colla Chiaraviglio was detained on 4 October 2026 at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, according to unotv.com. The arrest was carried out in response to an arrest warrant issued by the sole criminal court judge of first instance of the Judicial District of Querétaro, Mexico, for her alleged participation in the offence of generic fraud.
The Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Querétaro indicated that the woman was located outside Mexican territory through investigative measures and mechanisms of international cooperation. At the time of her detention, Colla had an active Migration Alert and Red Notice for her international location.
Peruvian authorities executed the arrest at the capital airport in response to the outstanding international request and the requirement of the Querétaro judicial authority. The Mexican agency did not specify in its statement the amount involved in the alleged fraud, the affected persons, or the specific circumstances that led to the investigation.
The detention in Peru does not imply the closure of the proceedings opened in Querétaro. The state prosecutor's office stated that it is maintaining coordination with the competent authorities to continue the corresponding international procedures, with the objective of having Colla placed at the disposal of the court that requires her. As of the available information, the prosecutor's office had not reported a date for her transfer to Mexico.
The action falls within the mechanism known as International Synergy, through which the Mexican authority conducts cooperation activities with institutions in other countries to locate persons required by justice.
Reports circulated in Peru identify the detainee as María Colla Chiaraviglio, a woman of Argentine origin who resides in Mexico. She has training in Architecture and has worked as an actress, presenter, and in recent years in the field of alternative therapies and personal development processes in the Riviera Maya. Her acting credits include appearances in the productions Señora and V.I.P., according to specialised records of her career.
Colla's name had previously appeared in press reports linked to NXIVM, an organisation founded by Keith Raniere that operated through personal development programmes and had a presence in Mexico. In 2017, N+ Univision reported that Colla had been a student of Executive Success Programs (ESP), one of the programmes associated with that organisation. At that time, the actress spoke positively about her experience in those courses.
The Querétaro prosecutor's office did not indicate that the case for generic fraud is related to NXIVM. The reference to her participation in ESP corresponds to a background element of her public trajectory and does not in itself constitute a criminal charge within the investigation being conducted by the Querétaro authority.
International procedures are continuing their course to determine the eventual delivery of María Colla to the judicial authority that requires her in Querétaro, where the investigation for generic fraud remains active.
