14 of the injured left by a train crash in Buenos Aires are still interned
Fourteen people remain hospitalized due to the train crash of the San Martín line that occurred the day before in Buenos Aires, whose formations are being withdrawn after the expertise.
Of the 90 people evacuated from the seven cars of the passenger train, the mayor of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macri, said that 20 were yellow code and were discharged, and 30 are red code, of which 14 remain interned.
“We talk about misfortune with luck. There are no misfortunes with luck,” Macri told the media stationed at the scene of the accident, in the capital neighborhood of Palermo, regarding the fact that there were no fatalities.
“Obviously this could have been much more serious if there were passengers in the van; that helped,” but he highlighted the professionalism of the fire service and the Emergency Medical Care System that arrived after half an hour.
The accident occurred this Friday at 10:31 (13:31 GMT), when a formation with passengers collided with a locomotive and an empty van and as a result of the impact 60 people were affected with injuries of different severity.
The incident occurred for causes that are still grounds for investigation, which is being processed in the national criminal and correctional court 11 by judge Julián Ercolini.
The formations affected by the collision are being removed this Saturday after the scientific police carried out the relevant judicial expertise.
The Secretary of Transport of Argentina, Franco Mogetta, said that “there are multiple hypotheses” about the causes of the accident and acknowledged that there were reports of “cable theft.”
The secretary of the train drivers’ union La Fraternidad, Omar Maturano, had declared that “work has been working for approximately ten days without a signal, due to the degradation that exists today on the railroad and the lack of security because the signaling cables are stolen,” and that the route of the trains is made by means of papers or flags.

U.S. extradites Iranian man over alleged sanctions evasion scheme
The United States has extradited from Panama an Iranian national accused of evading economic sanctions against Iran by illegally exporting U.S. technology. He is scheduled to appear this Monday before a court in Seattle.
Reza Dindar, 44, was extradited on April 17 after being detained in Panama since July 2025 on charges related to export control violations between 2011 and 2012, allegedly carried out through companies based in China.
The defendant appeared before a U.S. district court in Seattle, where he faces charges of violating sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran in 1995 during the administration of Bill Clinton. These sanctions prohibit the unauthorized export, re-export, or supply—directly or indirectly—of U.S. goods, technology, or services to Iran or its government.
According to the indictment, between 2010 and 2014, Dindar led the company New Port Sourcing Solutions in Xi’an, China, which allegedly concealed the procurement of U.S. products for shipment to clients in Iran.

Elon Musk skips French court appearance over X investigation
Billionaire Elon Musk did not appear this Monday before French authorities, who had summoned him for a voluntary statement as part of an investigation into his social media platform X, prosecutors told AFP.
The platform has been under investigation since early 2025 following complaints from lawmakers alleging bias in its algorithms, which may have altered its functioning and interfered in politics in France.
The probe has since expanded to include other alleged offenses, such as complicity in the distribution of child sexual abuse material, as well as the role of Grok in spreading denialist content and sexually explicit fake images.
In early February, investigators raided X’s offices in Paris. The company has denied any wrongdoing, describing the searches as “political” and “abusive.”
At that time, the Paris prosecutor’s office summoned Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino to provide voluntary testimony as those responsible for the platform during the period under investigation.
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau also stated that X employees were called to testify as witnesses between April 20 and April 24.
