Argentina's intelligence agency, the Secretaría de Inteligencia del Estado (SIDE), arrested one person on Saturday, November 7, for threatening to kill Pope Leo XIV.
Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to visit Argentina between November 8 and 11. SIDE conveyed the threat information to the counter-terrorism unit of the Argentine Federal Police, and the arrest was ordered by a federal court in Campana, Buenos Aires.
In a statement, SIDE mentioned that the perpetrator issued death threats against the Pope regarding his visit, but did not disclose the suspect's name, the form of the threat, the location of the arrest, or whether the suspect has been formally charged.
Authorities emphasized that the arrest was made within 24 hours of receiving the information, thanks to coordination between the intelligence services, federal apparatus, and the court.
Currently, Pope Leo XIV is undergoing a series of visits to South American countries, starting in Uruguay, and SIDE continues to work with federal apparatus to ensure the visit runs safely.
