Overview
- Bomb-squad specialists from the Policía Federal inspected the object and confirmed it posed no threat, describing it as an old backpack or a box.
- The item was located on Combate de los Pozos 53 at the rear of the Congress, near a gas cabin and a service entrance by a gym.
- Police closed streets and set a perimeter for the inspection, yet the building was not evacuated and employees continued working before circulation was restored.
- Federal Court No. 9, led by Judge Sebastián Ramos, initiated a case for “Averiguación e intimidación pública,” ordering seizure of the object and a review of security cameras.
- The response occurred under heightened national security measures after the government raised the alert level to high, with sensitivity increased by a February 20 explosion at a Gendarmería facility.
