Crisis in the Buenos Aires police due to a new prisoner escape
This fact occurs in the midst of a crisis within the leadership of the Buenos Aires force due to a new episode of escape in 2024. The escape of 17 detainees in Liniers led the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Jorge Macri, to order the removal of the leadership of the City Police. The head and deputy head of the force, Pablo Kisch and Jorge Azzolina, They will be replaced by general commissioners Diego Casaló and Carla Mangiameli, respectively.
Last Monday, prisoners housed in two pavilions reportedly made a hole in a hollow brick wall, with a diameter of about 30 centimeters, to escape. Four of them have already been recaptured.
From this fact, the criminal and contravention prosecutor Lorena San Marcos prompted the indictment of five officers of the Buenos Aires City Police for the escape of 17 prisoners from a police station in Liniers.
They are accused of having facilitated the escape of detainees last Monday night at Alcaidía 9.
Among the accused are the shift leader during the time of the escape and the guards. The accusation is based on article 281 of the National Penal Code, which states: “Anyone who encourages the escape of a detainee or convicted person will be punished with imprisonment from one month to four years, and if he or she is a public official, he or she will also suffer absolute disqualification for triple time.”
