AI-generated summary
Leonardo Bertulazzi was under house arrest in Buenos Aires with an electronic bracelet before he escaped.
Two people were arrested on suspicion of having helped former BR Leonardo Bertulazzi escape from a house in the San Telmo neighborhood of Buenos Aires where he was under house arrest.
They are a Salvadoran woman and a Uruguayan man, who were part of a WhatsApp group together with Bertulazzi and 12 other people, through which the escape was allegedly planned. As revealed by the TN news channel, both were arrested in the province of Entre Rios, after investigators followed a vehicle. They are accused of having facilitated the terrorist's escape, although it was not specified what role they had in his escape. During the arrest, officers seized several USB sticks, eight different identification documents, cash and six cell phones. The last known position of the Italian was recorded a few hours ago in the northern area of the province of Entre Rios. Authorities believe Bertulazzi's goal is to leave the country through that region and reach Uruguay. Meanwhile, the Ministry of National Security has offered a reward of 20 million pesos to anyone who provides information useful in tracing him, Clarin reports.
Official sources confirmed to the Argentine newspaper that the former BR was under house arrest in his apartment on the fifth floor of a building in the San Telmo neighborhood. Bertulazzi was wearing an electronic bracelet controlled by the Ministry of National Security, but he managed to take it off without triggering the alarm using a device capable of altering the readings of body temperature and humidity carried out by the device, as well as those of the heartbeat. When the monitoring staff noticed that Bertulazzi was immobile, the police went to the apartment where he was under house arrest to carry out a check. The agents found the empty house and a homemade device that simulated the terrorist's body temperature and heartbeat. Subsequently, by examining the images of the surveillance cameras in the area, the investigators reconstructed the manner of the escape: Bertulazzi had reached the street by lowering himself with a harness from the balcony of the apartment.
