Palermo Neighbor Detained on Attempted Homicide Charge in Alleged Antisemitic Attack

Prosecutor Carlos Stornelli will question the suspect on attempted homicide with a religious-hate aggravating factor.

Overview

  • Authorities detained Mariano Andrés Corera and formally imputed him for attempted homicide after a viral complaint by influencer Michelle Imán Schmukler.
  • Security Minister Patricia Bullrich confirmed the arrest publicly as the case moved forward under the national and city justice systems.
  • Schmukler reported that her neighbor shouted antisemitic slurs and hurled a metal bar at her and her eight-month-old, and the accused admitted the act and regretted not having aimed.
  • The family received protective measures, including police presence at their building and a court-ordered prohibition of approach against the accused.
  • Internal Affairs is reviewing the victim’s complaint about an initial lack of police response, and records note the suspect’s brief evaluation at Hospital Fernández before he left and was later relocated by family.
