Judge Orders Psychiatric Evaluation of Teen Accused of Caballito School Attack Plot

Psychiatric testing by the Forensic Medical Corps will guide upcoming decisions on his custody status.

Overview

  • The case is classified as public intimidation, and the court broadened the probe to aggravated coercive threats and illicit association.
  • Authorities acted on an FBI alert and additional information from Brazil sent via the Budapest 24/7 network that flagged a user on X outlining a November attack.
  • Anti-terror officers from the PFA’s DUIA unit detained the 16-year-old at a residence on Avenida Juan Bautista Alberdi after UFECI and the Federal Prosecutor’s Office traced the account.
  • Searches recovered modified air guns and other replicas, knives, ammunition, pepper spray, bottles to assemble molotovs, digital devices, notebooks with neo-Nazi symbols, a farewell letter, and replicas inscribed with the names Brenton Tarrant, Anders Breivik, and Rafael Solich.
  • Case documents describe a plan to impersonate a police officer following a hoax threat near the campus, corral students into a classroom, and carry out a shooting at his former school.
