The incident took place at the police station located in Gana street at 400in the Liniers neighborhood. The detainees made a gap and they completed the massive escape.
The prisoners, housed in two pavilions, would have made a hole in a hollow brick wall, with a diameter of about 30 centimeters, to escape. In the place too A pointed iron was found that they would have used to pierce the wall.
Five officers from the Buenos Aires City Police were charged for the incident. The decision was made by the criminal and contravention prosecutor Lorena San Marcos.
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.”
