After the gruesome murder of Mariano Barbieri in Palermo, to steal his cell phone in an event that shocked public opinion less than a month ago, this Sunday A new episode of insecurity in the area had as its victim a diplomat from the Turkish Embassy, who was attacked by motorcycles to steal his truck. It was on the corner of Soldier of Independence and Gorostiagaan area in which the motochorros ventured even though it can be considered “very safe”, since a few meters away is also the headquarters of another foreign representation, the German Embassy.
The truth is that the robbers pointed their weapons at the Turkish officialthey forced him to violently get out of a Volkswagen T Cross truck, one of the assailants escaped at the wheel of that vehicle and the passenger followed him with the motorcycle with which they had arrived. The urgent call to the Police triggered an almost immediate operation, and the first motive he found with the thieves located them escaping through Liberator and Sarmientoin the roundabout of the Monument to the Spanish, from where they pursued them to Gelly and Salguero.
As a cruel paradox, to continue linking the case with the death of Mariano Barbieri, it is enough to highlight that In those blocks of high-speed chase, the stolen truck and the police passed by Plaza Siciliaprecisely the place where engineer Barbieri was fatally wounded at the end of last month, the place from which he managed to reach an ice cream parlor in Libertador and Lafinur, dying shortly after.
In Gelly, the police caught up with the thieves, and when they intercepted the truck, it ended up crashing into a parked vehicle. There one of the police officers shot the thief who was driving the VW T Cross, who died at the scene and whose identity is still unknown. He only revealed that he “would be around 30 years old.”
The shocking event was in the orbit of the 25th Criminal Court, in charge of the doctor Guillermo Robet.
Reinforcement of security in Palermo
After the crime of Mariano Barbieri, which cost the Buenos Aires Security Minister Eugenio Burzaco his job, who was in New York and was photographed at a tennis match at the time of the murder, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta located in that place Gustavo Coriawho as soon as he took office announced a significant reinforcement in surveillance of the Rosedal area and the entire map of Palermo, given the impressive series of cases of insecurity that Barbieri’s death had only brought to light.
Coria, together with Gabriel Berard, chief of the Buenos Aires Police, and the deputy chief, Pedro Carnero, then defined a “strategic redeployment of forces in the most complex areas, and this Sunday’s episode was diametrically opposed to that of the Barbieri case, when the murderer escaped on foot from the scene and was arrested days later. Coria, close to Diego Santilli, stated that he wants “the police to go out on the street and be seen.” In this context, he ended the checkpoints that Burzaco had imposed and ordered a return to patrolling on motorcycles and cars.
