Overview

Maximiliano Oscar Martínez, a 30-year-old Argentine Federal Police officer, has been missing since September 8 after traveling by bicycle from La Quiaca, Argentina, into the Bolivian city of Villazón.

Following his disappearance, Interpol issued a yellow alert. Investigations are being conducted through a binational effort involving the Jujuy Police, Gendarmería Nacional, and the Argentine Federal Police, alongside Bolivian prosecutors and security forces.
