The text of the threat that dozens of schools in the City and the suburbs received by email

More than 10 private schools in CABA and the Buenos Aires suburbs suffered bomb threats on Tuesday morning and had to be evacuated. Given this, in the judicial department of San Isidro a team was formed with two prosecutors from the Juvenile Responsibility jurisdiction and Alejandro Musso, a specialist in Computer Crimes. After a series of raids, this Wednesday a minor under 17 years of age was arrested in the framework of the case.

Sources of the investigation explained to Infobae that the detainee “is not unknown to Justice: he had already been involved in a similar event last March.” He went for a threat at the Riverside school in the town of Acassuso and for this he used an email platform that is based in Switzerland, and for this reason the Musso Cybercrime Prosecutor also intervened at that time.

“Now he used another (mail) platform also dedicated to cybersecurity,” the sources consulted by this medium clarified. The teenager was accused of the crime of threats and public intimidation and this Thursday the formal accusation will be made. “Only in the judicial department of San Isidro, from Pilar to Vicente López, there are 12 schools that were affected,” they added.

This Tuesday, some of the schools affected were Villa Devoto School, the Cristoforo Colombo Italian School, the Nightingale School English institute and the San Mateo School (in the City of Buenos Aires), as well as the St. George’s College of Quilmes and Goethe Schule , San Andrés, Florence Nightingale, St. John’s, Northlands and William Caxton, among others, from Zona Norte. There were also complaints in Lomas de Zamora.

The Cristoforo Colombo Italian School was one of dozens of educational institutions that received bomb threats on Tuesday

The schools received an email and had to be evacuated, according to the protocol, but the searches did not find any explosive devices. In CABA, the Bomb Squad intervened in the different affected schools. Sources from the Ministry of Education stressed that the crime of public intimidation implies parental responsibility for the actions of their children.

Since then, the case has been in charge of prosecutor Musso, but then the attorney general of San Isidro, John Broyad, put together a team with two juvenile justice officials from that judicial department: Andrés Zárate and Silvia Gremes. Precisely, Musso had been the one who caught the teenager last March, although later the cause went to the Juvenile Responsibility jurisdiction.
