Various criminal and safety incidents have been reported across Latin America and Spain. In Argentina, authorities in Río Cuarto found the body of 87-year-old Oscar Kowszyk in a residential patio, leading to two arrests. In Santa Cruz, police are searching for 14-year-old Leroy Mateo Giménez, while in Neuquén, an investigation is underway for the disappearance of 18-year-old Morena Yolanda Jazmin Tiznado. Other incidents include a 7-year-old girl hospitalized with burns in Misiones, five siblings found abandoned in Posadas, and a 60-year-old woman in Tucumán who was attacked with alcohol and fire by her partner.
In Uruguay, a body was recovered from a difficult-to-access mountainous area near Route 39. In Peru, a newborn was found in a trash bag in Jesús María, prompting a police investigation. In Chile, an 18-year-old was placed in preventive detention following a violent attempted kidnapping in Alto Hospicio. In Spain, a woman in Palma was arrested after her grandson was found alone on a fourth-floor balcony, and a repeat offender was detained in El Rafal for vehicle thefts.
Additionally, legal and social issues continue to emerge, such as a potential delay in the malpractice trial of journalist Maricruz Leiva in Costa Rica, and reports of increasing pyramid schemes in Mendoza, Argentina.
