The head of the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (AFIP), Carlos Castagneto, filed a police complaint this Friday after receiving a series of threats through social networks in which, in addition to intimidate him with acts of violence against him and his family, was included information about the place where he has spent the summer for 30 years.
The threats came from different accounts of the social network Twitter, which echoed and reproduced a message from a user who, he assured, was vacationing in the same place as Castagneto and his family, and who “wanted to do evil to him.”
We cannot naturalize this. Violence only breeds more violence. It is our obligation to file a complaint and for the authorities to act.
We can think differently, have different ideas and discuss them. Not that way. pic.twitter.com/aUCueqZw7f

The message in question was published on January 28, in which the user @embroshco (embroschca ANTI K.) wrote: “Carlos castagneto (AFIP) rents a tent in the same spa as me. Apolo, in Mardel… He and his unpleasant wife. I don’t know how they have the face of going out into the street. And they’re lucky they don’t get bitched, because people don’t have it clearly identified. I feel like doing something evil…” (sic).
It is a post that already has 13.3 thousand reproductions and more than 160 comments in which you can read all kinds of incitement to violence, insults, offensive allusions against the Castagneto family and death threats, like the one he wrote quoting the original tweet from the user @jjfinsua_juanjo, who asks to “grab a machine gun”.
The head of the AFIP presented a dHe made a statement before the Constitutional Crimes division of the Federal Police, which took his statement and is already involved in the investigation.
