The report states that authorities also confiscated Nazi flags, uniforms, hats, helmets, and busts of Hitler. According to police reports, staff from the Buenos Aires Holocaust Museum assisted in this law enforcement action.

The house where the items were found is located in the city of Quilmes, near the southern edge of the larger Buenos Aires metropolitan area. Police had been tracking the man after he traveled abroad and was involved in an investigation initiated by Bosnian-Herzegovinian police.

After World War II, many Nazi officials, including the infamous death camp supervisor Adolf Eichmann, emigrated to Argentina to avoid prosecution for war crimes.

Last year, local security forces raided and shut down a bookstore in Argentina that was selling books about fascism online.
