Overview
- The 56-year-old resident threatened neighbors Saturday in a Villa Crespo building and tried to start fires by lighting paper napkins in common areas.
- She spray-painted a swastika with the word "cowards" on a neighbor’s door and used a steel hammer to break the latch on the door to the electrical panels.
- After neighbors called the City Police, the Flagrancy Unit North, a rapid-response prosecutorial team led by aide Matías Vila, detained her in the act, opened a case for suspected arson and damage, and posted a police guard at the building.
- Psychiatric and psychological evaluations by Hospital Fernández, the Judicial Investigations Corps, and the Forensic Medicine Directorate found she posed an imminent risk and was unfit to face trial.
- Judge José Béguelin ruled her not imputable and ordered her admitted to the Torcuato de Alvear psychiatric hospital, and reports of a 2025 hospitalization followed by dropped treatment have renewed concern over outpatient follow-up.
