Argentine Airport Police Officer Arrested in Suspected Dating-App Robbery
Lucía Fernanda Díaz Da Mota, 31, an officer with Argentina’s Airport Security Police (PSA), was arrested at her home in Ezeiza on June 25, 2026. She is accused of aggravated robbery under the scheme locally known as “viuda negra.”
Investigators allege that Díaz Da Mota met a 64-year-old man through Bumble and accompanied him to his apartment in Quilmes after dinner. The victim reportedly lost consciousness after drinking a beverage and later discovered that cash, euros, watches, clothing, perfumes and other valuables were missing.
Security-camera footage, telephone geolocation and social-media evidence allegedly helped investigators identify her. Authorities reportedly seized phones, watches, suitcases and other potentially relevant items during a search of her residence. She remains accused, and the allegations have not been proven in court.
