Luciano Galletti’s Family Tied Up and Robbed in La Plata Real Estate Office

The incident occurred on Wednesday morning when two suspects confronted the 70-year-old woman and her 47-year-old son inside the establishment located near the intersection of 6 and 46 streets.

According to initial police reconstructions reported by local media outlets, the two suspects were already inside the office when the family members walked in. The assailants quickly reduced both victims, tied them up, and demanded valuables before fleeing the scene with a bag containing cash.

Local authorities have confirmed that neither victim sustained physical injuries during the confrontation, though both experienced severe distress. Emergency responders and personnel from the Comisaría Primera de La Plata arrived shortly after the incident to provide assistance and initiate forensic protocols at the scene.

Ongoing Police Investigation and Financial Tracking

The case has been formally cataloged as a robbery under the direction of Unidad Funcional de Instrucción (UFI) N°16 alongside Juzgado de Garantías N°4 in La Plata. Detectives are examining whether the attack was targeted or the result of opportunistic planning by individuals familiar with the location’s daily operations.

According to investigators cited by regional news agencies, a central line of inquiry focuses on a specific cash delivery made to the real estate office earlier that same Wednesday morning. Police are working to determine whether the suspects possessed prior intelligence regarding the movement of the funds or if they monitored the establishment’s routine financial transactions ahead of time.

Forensic teams continue to analyze security camera footage from neighboring businesses along 6 Street and surrounding blocks to map the escape route used by the two men. Authorities have not yet released an official estimate detailing the exact sum of money taken during the robbery as the audit of the office’s accounts remains ongoing.

Family Background and Athletic Legacy in La Plata

The victims are closely tied to La Plata’s prominent sports community through Luciano Galletti, a former professional forward who built a notable career in Argentine and European football. Galletti began his professional journey with Estudiantes de La Plata, completing two distinct stints with the club while also representing the Argentina national team at the international level.

During his European club career, Galletti played for clubs such as Real Zaragoza and Atlético Madrid in Spain, alongside spells in Italy and Greece. He stepped away from professional competition in 2010 following a diagnosed kidney insufficiency. In 2011, he received a successful kidney transplant from his father, Rubén Horacio Galletti, who is also celebrated as a former Estudiantes player.

Law enforcement officials have urged anyone with additional information regarding suspicious activity near 6 and 46 streets on Wednesday morning to contact the local precinct as the judicial inquiry moves forward.
