Jula, 23, was apparently heard encouraging locals at the scene.
“A lorry overturned, we have to go see what’s inside, come on.
“I still don’t understand what it is, but oh well, let’s grab some,” she was quoted as saying.
The influencer also interviewed several suspected looters by the crashed HGV.
Minutes later, the police arrived and cleared the area, amidst tense moments with several locals who tried to continue looting and hurled rocks at them.
The crash took place on National Route 40 near Mendoza City in northern Argentina last Friday (3 Apr).
The driver set off from Chile bound for Brazil when the lorry overturned while trying to evade another vehicle on the Argentine motorway.
It then crashed into a parked Volvo semi-trailer.
Dozens of locals took advantage of the situation to allegedly loot the olive oil and sell the boxes online at high prices, as reported by Need To Know.
According to the police, posts offering the stolen merchandise at inflated prices began to appear on social media hours after the crash.
Jula, who comes from the town of Venado Tuerto in Santa Fe Province, was slammed online for allegedly participating in the looting.
The footage sparked a debate about “clout chasing” and the ethics of content creation in crisis zones.
Users branded her “vile” and “heartless” after the clip went viral.
The police have confirmed that they are evaluating whether to press formal charges against the individuals identified in the viral clips to deter similar behaviour in the future.
