German citizen discovered dead in Uruguay under unusual circumstances
Uruguayan police are investigating the mysterious death of a German citizen, whose body was found in an advanced state of decomposition in a town in the western part of the country, local media reported on Friday.
Uwe Hartmann, 59, was discovered dead on January 30 in Riachuelo, a marina and vacation destination located about 170 km from Uruguay’s capital.
He was found inside an abandoned house owned by the Ministry of Transport and Public Works, with his hands and feet tied behind his back.
According to sources cited by the newspaper El País, Hartmann had legally entered Uruguay four years ago. Records show that he traveled through several departments in the western coastal region, and in recent times, he had been seen in Colonia del Sacramento, a historic city just 13 km from Riachuelo.

Petro criticizes Milei, calling him ‘greedy’ and a ‘Mussolini nostalgic’
Colombian President Gustavo Petro described his Argentine counterpart, Javier Milei, as a “nostalgic admirer” of Benito Mussolini, “greedy,” and labeled him a “cipayo” for his admiration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
“I believe Milei is nostalgic for Mussolini and is part of forces that represent death rather than life. Milei is greedy,” Petro said in an interview on La Pizarra, a radio program hosted by Spanish economist Alfredo Serrano Mancilla, who is based in Argentina.
Petro suggested that Milei does not identify with Latin America due to his Italian citizenship, which was granted to him by Giorgia Meloni’s government during an official visit to Italy.
“Milei comes from the European world; he does not come from the Latin American flow. He is Italian. And today, Italy is in full decline, still longing not for the Roman Empire, but for Mussolini—something even worse,” the Colombian president added.

Miami crash injures three, including police officer; one in critical condition
A pedestrian remains in critical condition on Sunday after a two-vehicle crash involving a Miami police officer shut down several streets for hours the previous night.
Around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, the officer was driving east in a patrol car on Northwest Seventh Street when a westbound driver turned left at the intersection of Northwest Seventh Street and Northwest 47th Avenue, according to Miami Police Officer Kiara Delva.
A video from CBSMiami, a news partner of the Miami Herald, showed a dark-colored Toyota with front-left damage and a Miami police patrol car with damage on the driver’s side.
Two women walking along Northwest Seventh Street were either struck by the vehicles or hit by flying debris. Delva told CBSMiami that the officer and one woman were hospitalized in stable condition, while another remained in critical condition. The Toyota’s driver was unharmed.
As of early Sunday morning, Northwest Seventh Street remained closed from Northwest 43rd Avenue to Northwest 51st Avenue, while Northwest 47th Avenue was shut down from Sixth Street

Justice Department: Third deportation flight followed legal orders
The U.S. Department of Justice stated on Friday that the third deportation flight carrying Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador last Saturday did not violate a court order, as all its passengers had final removal orders and none were expelled under the Alien Enemies Act.
“I don’t know the details of what those orders said, but what I understand and what I have been told is that everyone on the third plane had final removal orders,” said the State Department attorney during a hearing before U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C.
On Saturday, Judge Boasberg issued an order to halt deportations based on Donald Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law last used during World War II that allows for the summary removal of foreign nationals.
Despite the ruling, three flights departed from Texas that day, landing in El Salvador, where they handed over more than 200 Venezuelans—whom the U.S. government claims are members of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang—to local authorities, who agreed to imprison them.
