Axel Blumberg was an Argentine engineering student at the Technological Institute of Buenos Aires who died at the age of 23 after being kidnapped for several days in 2004 after returning from his girlfriend's home. Allegedly the local police was involved in the kidnapping or at least in the protection of the kidnappers, since neighbors of the kidnappers had called the police when they saw Axel escaping then being beaten by his captors and turned a blind eye. Axel's murder caused an uproar and hundreds of thousands of people walked in protest and support of his father (textile engineer Juan Carlos Blumberg) in his search for justice.
