An employee of the Buenos Aires government posed as a prosecutor before the Federal Police and was arrested: he had a shocking arsenal in his house

This Tuesday afternoon, around 18.30, a man dressed in a blue suit, dress shoes and a white shirt, entered through the door of the headquarters of the Railways Division of the Roca Train of the Argentine Federal Police, on Salta Street at 1900, in the heart of Buenos Aires neighborhood of Constitución, and announced himself to the troops. He said his name, Ricardo Fabian Siniscalchi, appeared as federal prosecutor of the Complex Crimes Unit - which does not exist in federal jurisdiction, but provided documentation to prove it - and asked to meet the new head of the agency.

But the situation became rare very quickly: the alleged prosecutor, who assured that he was armed, began to give orders to all police personnel and threatened to request disciplinary action against them, through a judicial order to the PFA headquarters, in case they ignored their directives.

A simple check-up proved that nothing he said was true.

Now, Siniscalchi is in custody, charged in a criminal case for the crimes of usurpation of titles and falsification of public documents. This qualification was then added to the illegal carrying of firearms: after arresting him, the police raided his house in the Buenos Aires town of Banfield, where they found a fearsome arsenal.

Siniscalchi - who is a few days away from his 57th birthday and has been an employee of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires since 2007, according to his pension records - was deliberately exposed.

During his visit to the police unit of Capital Federal, his staging and his presentation as a prosecutor did not hold, there were inconsistencies and statements that were very easy to prove in his account. He claimed to have been head of the Federal Prosecutors of Morón and Comodoro Py and assured that he was authorized to be armed for his position.

The troops immediately found that Siniscalchi not only did not belong to or play any role within the judiciary, but that he was also not a lawyer, neither in the city nor in the province of Buenos Aires. They stopped him at the time.

At the request of the prosecutor Federico Almeyda of the East Flagrance Unit of the Public Prosecutor's Office of the City of Buenos Aires, the Federal Police raided his house on 1200 Carlos Croce Street, in Lomas de Zamora on Wednesday.

Inside the house they found a building at the back of the land with an armored entrance door and different safes built into the wall and floors inside a closet with double bottoms. His partner told the troops that they were for storing weapons.

Indeed, they found a total of 21 weapons inside, including rifles, rifles and shotguns, machine guns and revolvers, without any documentation whatsoever, together with a large amount of war ammunition of various calibers.

He also had false credentials that accredited him as a “federal prosecutor” and as a lawyer for schools in the city and province of Buenos Aires along with and 44 apocryphal cards from the AnMac.

Siniscalchi must answer for all weapons and false documentation in a case by the Eastern Flagrance Unit of the Buenos Aires Public Prosecutor's Office and UFIJ No. 7 Criminal and Correctional of the Judicial Department of Lomas de Zamora.
