Overview
- Security footage from September 4 on Costanera Norte shows the Amarok reversing into the VW Up twice, a sequence investigators say supports intentional conduct with alevosía.
- Prosecutor Claudia Palacios formally charged Juan Cruz Peracca, 29, with deliberate injuries with the aggravator, and he is held in Bouwer prison after allegedly violating a no-contact order.
- Medical records in the case report the 18-month-old passenger sustained a skull fracture and remains under care without neurological compromise.
- Police released the video, which also shows a family acquaintance extracting the child before officers and an ambulance arrive.
- A forensic psychiatric assessment to determine Peracca’s legal imputability is pending, while the family’s lawyer urges reclassification to attempted homicide.
