- Share via
BUENOS AIRES — Federal police will investigate death threats that prompted Jewish author Isidoro Blastain to leave the country, according to Interior Secretary Facundo Suarez Lastra.
Detectives would determine whether “a group of kooks” or a potentially dangerous organization telephoned threats to Blastain, Lastra said in an interview Monday with Radio Continental of Buenos Aires.
Blastain, 53, who has won several national fiction prizes, recently went to Israel after receiving anonymous telephone death threats from a man saying he represented an unknown group called Argentine Nazi Force.
