Argentine police have arrested a 58-year-old man in Quilmes for possessing over 60 Nazi-themed weapons and paraphernalia, including 43 rifles, 15 pistols, and a machine gun, all adorned with symbols of the Third Reich. The operation, known as 'Operation Nevada,' was coordinated with law enforcement from Bosnia and Herzegovina, targeting an international arms trafficking network linked to several countries.
