[edit] Ramallo massacre
On September 17, 1999 Ramallo hit the headlines when the provincial police opened fire on a getaway car from a bankrobbery, two of the hostages in the car were killed. There are several theories to explain the police action, ranging from incompetence to a scandal involving former president Carlos Menem and the suspicious death of his son.
