The pregnant women have put a spotlight on a phenomenon that has become evident in Argentina in recent weeks. In the last year, 21,757 Russian citizens have entered Argentina, including around 10,500 pregnant women and “the numbers have been increasing in the last few months,” Carignano said. “In the last three months, 5,819 women who were about to give birth entered” Argentina. The judiciary is currently investigating whether there is some sort of criminal organization bringing Russian women to Argentina. The problem is that these people come, leave and don’t return to Argentina and they leave with a passport,” Carignano said.
