According to Judge Facundo Cubas, the evidence on ground is enough to earn Bieber a prison sentence ranging from one month to six years.
Cubas has given him 60 days to appear in court failure of which an international arrest warrant will be issued. Interpol has also reportedly been asked to track Bieber down and inform the judge of court appearance.
Bieber is being accused of ordering his bodyguards to attack a photographer outside a nightclub in Buenos Aires, the country’s capital.
The photographer, Diego Pesoa, reportedly started taking pictures of Bieber as he tried to sneak out of the INK nightclub in Buenos Aires by covering himself with a black sheet.
Pesoa said he was then badly beaten by Bieber's security staff and injuries required minor hospital treatment.
Judge Cubas has now summoned Bieber to appear before his court to answer the charges of assault.
The Judge told Associated Press in an interview: "The evidence from witnesses, footage and photos shows that he [Bieber] didn't want his pictures taken. That led his bodyguards to chase down after the photographers and it was followed by a beating."
Hugo Hesny, the bodyguard involved, has also been summoned to appear in court.
Bieber, at 20, already has a long list of troubles with the law. International Business Times chronicles it this way: “Prior to his performance in Argentina, Bieber was twice photographed spray painting graffiti onto a wall in Colombia and Brazil. He was charged in absence for vandalism in Brazil.
In December last year, Bieber was arrested after allegedly assaulting a limousine driver in Toronto. He reportedly struck the victim "several times" on the back of the head whilst he was driving.
Bieber was also arrested for drink driving in Miami, on 23 January 2014. He later donated $50,000 to a youth charity and pleaded guilty to careless driving and resisting arrest near Miami beach. Following the trial, the drink driving charge was dropped"
