    United States revokes visa of former Argentine official over role in illegal Patagonian toothfish case

    The communiqué specified that the sanctions against Ferrara relate to “corrupt activities that facilitated illegal fishing and undermined fair market access for US fishers”

    The US Department of State on Wednesday revoked the visa of former Argentine official Pablo Ferrara Raisberg, former Foreign Ministry representative on the Federal Fisheries Council, over his alleged involvement in an illegal Patagonian toothfish episode that prompted his resignation in 2024. The measure is part of a new policy by the government of Donald Trump under which Washington has restricted the issuance of visas to 24 individuals linked to illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing in exclusive zones, and also includes Mexican national José Ali Amado.
