Argentina police detain men for breaching gender‑violence restraining orders

A 26‑year‑old man was arrested by officers of the Comisaría 6 de la Mujer y la Familia after he ignored a court‑issued restraining order and returned to his ex‑partner’s home. The victim activated the panic‑button in the “Santiago Protege” app, prompting an immediate police response. He was charged with disobeying the judicial measure and with property damage, and placed in police custody pending further investigation.

A 32‑year‑old man, previously sentenced for threats in a gender‑based violence case, fled his home‑detention location shortly after his electronic monitoring device was disabled. After a brief false medical excuse, he remained at large for six months before detectives located him on a public street in Ingeniero Budge. He was apprehended, transferred to a police station and is awaiting placement in a closed‑regime prison.
