The administrative investigation is advancing, but the background—problematic substance use, mass medical leaves, and lax controls—threatens to turn a grotesque episode into the visible tip of a much deeper problem.
Sources consulted indicate that this case is not isolated and is linked to a structural issue affecting the security forces of Buenos Aires Province. In this context, the Ayacucho incident once again puts a spotlight on a figure that has long circulated in private circles and now takes on renewed relevance: nearly 40% of the police force under the government of Axel Kicillof are currently on medical leave, often associated with alcoholism and drug use, according to sources from the provincial security system itself.
The most delicate point came when one of the women attempted to leave the scene during the operation. A percentage that, if officially confirmed, describes a much more severe "silent crisis" than a hotel scandal.
Meanwhile, within the Buenos Aires Police, the incident has become a mandatory topic in internal discussions and "encrypted" police radio communications, with a mix of irony.
The problem arose as the evening progressed and the scene shifted to a transient hotel, where the festive atmosphere devolved into arguments, insults, and physical violence.
Ayacucho, Buenos Aires Province, January 2026 – Total News Agency-TNA-
What began as an informal outing among colleagues ended up as a shameful episode that today rocks the security forces and reopens a debate far more uncomfortable than a simple nighttime altercation.
Establishment staff alerted to the sound of breaking bottles and a fight that seemed to be spiraling out of control, prompting an emergency call.
Upon arrival, the scene bordered on the absurd: the protagonists of the disturbance belonged to the same force that had come to intervene. An ending that even police fiction rarely attempts.
Initial versions indicate the conflict originated from a personal grievance, linked to alleged jealousy and cross-accusations, which quickly escalated into aggression.
The result was a scandal that today convulses the institution from within and prompted the intervention of Internal Affairs, which has opened administrative proceedings to assess responsibilities and potential sanctions, even though the incident occurred off-duty.
However, the data that causes the most concern and is not mentioned in the police report. According to an internal source consulted by Total News Agency, in addition to alcohol consumption, there was also the ingestion of substances not approved by the World Health Organization.
In a tense scene of personal and institutional conflict, an officer proceeded to detain the woman for disturbing the public order, following protocol.
"It wasn't just a long night," some officers admit off the record, "it's a symptom."
With an acidic tone, within the force itself, they acknowledge that the operation ended up being "too transparent" for an institution trying to exhibit order, professionalism, and control.
Nothing extraordinary.
