An unexpected twist in the investigation of the beating of a 17-year-old in Pinamar revealed that a friend confessed to being the aggressor and was detained. The victim, identified as Thiago, suffered a cerebral hematoma after the attack that occurred at dawn near the pier. Initially believed to be the work of a gang, the Justice system is now analyzing whether it was a fight between acquaintances.
The incident occurred during Thiago's family vacation in Pinamar, a coastal town in Argentina. According to initial reports, the 17-year-old was beaten by a gang at dawn near the pier, resulting in a severe cerebral hematoma. Due to the seriousness of his injuries, Thiago will be transferred to the Hospital Bicentenario de Esteban Echeverría for specialized care.
The investigation took an unexpected turn in the last hours. A minor, a friend of the victim who was with him at the time, confessed to being the aggressor and was detained. The prosecutor's office is analyzing a video of the attack frame by frame to reconstruct the events and determine if the injuries resulted from an isolated fight rather than an organized group, as initially thought.
This development shifts the initial perspective of the case, which raised concerns about safety in tourist areas during the summer season. Authorities continue to identify possible involvements, though the main suspect is now this confessed friend. No further details have been reported on the motive for the altercation.
