Overview
- A building superintendent's call triggered a major police operation that sealed off the block and halted traffic in Palermo.
- Bomb technicians examined the object for more than 90 minutes and determined it was a 75 mm artillery projectile with a fuze lacking explosive charge.
- Authorities are transferring the shell to a secure location for a controlled detonation as part of standard procedures.
- Juzgado Federal N° 10, headed by Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti, opened a case and requested security camera footage to trace who left the device.
- Investigators' leading hypothesis is that a local resident abandoned the item, and the find occurred near the Botanical Park and within about 120 meters of a Sephardic Jewish school and temple.
