Attack on the Rural Society: there are doubts in the Federal Justice about the detainee’s connection

It is about Alberto Santiago Soria, 40 years oldwho is identified as the main suspect in the attack.

The detainee, a real estate agent by occupation, was arrested on Friday night after a raid on his home, located at the intersection of Juan B. Justo and Chivilcoy, in the City of Buenos Aires.

However, for the magistrate there are certain doubts that he is the suspect of having sent the letter that exploded at the headquarters of the Rural Society.

Judicial sources revealed to the Argentine News Agency that in principle “the identity of the suspect and the intellectual authority do not fit the profile.”

Soria He denied any responsibility for sending an explosive to the president of the SRA, but will remain in custody, while Rafecas ordered the confidentiality of the case. He also requested a series of expert reports on the material of the explosive, the damages to the victims and the damages.

Regarding the attack on Pinethrough an explosive letter that was opened by the secretary of the rural leader, Pamela Sousa, and that “it released a kind of white smoke or powder,” several hypotheses were put forward.

The first were attributed to an attack by vegan and anarchist groups, but the first of these was quickly dismissed by the SRA leaders themselves.

“There have been some attacks with paint and that, I think more from the side of vegan activists, that kind of thing, but not this kind of intimidation,” said the vice president of the entity, Marcos Pereda.

He added: “I would rule out the possibility that it was them because, ultimately, they are activists who need to display banners, to be seen, to convey messages and this has nothing to do with that. It is a hasty conclusion, obviously. There is no prospect until we have a little more factual data from the authorities; we hope that it will be clarified as soon as possible.”

Another hypothesis that emerged in the last few hours and that the SRA is also analyzing is related to the discomfort that the Government He expressed his opinion regarding the political positions of some leaders of the sector, after the setback that the ruling party received due to the rejection of the DNU on the funds of the SIDE.

“It’s one of the conjectures that was going around yesterday, but it’s a bit early to be speculating,” he said. Pereda. In relation to the investigation, carried out by the Special Investigations Division of the City Policein coordination with Federal Court number 7, Soria was identified.

According to police sources, his arrest was made possible thanks to an exhaustive analysis of security cameras located near the site of the attack, as well as the tracking of his route using two bus lines and the study of card users. UPLOAD.

One of the key elements for his identification was a scientific comparative analysis (anthropometric), which allowed both the face and the body posture of the suspect to be compared with the recordings obtained from the security cameras. This analysis yielded a positive result, which led to his arrest.

That detail now appears doubtful to Rafecas and believes that he “would not fit” that profile. Soria, 40, has a criminal record from 2017 for “anonymous anti-Semitic threats.” That judicial case is in the Criminal Prosecutor’s Office number 5 of the City, in charge of the Miguel Kessler.
