They dismantled an organization that recruited Argentinians to fight in the war between Ukraine and Russia

An investigation initiated by four Argentine men preparing to fly to Europe led to the dismantling of an organization allegedly recruiting civilians, former military personnel, and former security force members to fight in the war between Ukraine and Russia. The Federal Police of Argentina (PFA) arrested a woman in Tigre accused of being part of the network, while her partner, identified as the main recruiter, fled to Brazil before the operation. The probe began in March when airport police detected inconsistencies during routine interviews with four men at Ezeiza International Airport, who had Ukraine as their destination. Initially, they claimed to be traveling for construction work in areas affected by Russian bombings, but contradictions emerged when questioned separately. They admitted they were recruited through digital platforms to join the front lines in Ukraine for around $3,000 monthly, with all documentation supposedly signed upon arrival. They were told to hide the true purpose of their travel and claim they were going for construction work to avoid detention.
