Authorities in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina, are investigating an alleged attempted kidnapping involving an Uber driver and the daughter of provincial Addictions Secretary Lucas Haurigot Posse.

The incident began when the victim reported feeling unwell due to a strange odor inside the vehicle while traveling from the Faculty of Psychology. According to reports, the passenger requested to exit the car, but the driver allegedly refused to stop until the vehicle reached a red light, at which point she was able to escape.

Following the initial report, the Uber driver voluntarily surrendered to the Tucumán Police. The Prosecutor's Office for Complex Crimes is currently reviewing digital records from the Uber application and security camera footage to investigate the incident. Lucas Haurigot Posse stated that his daughter is physically safe but remains in shock, adding, “I believe my daughter.”
