The arrested is a friend of the girlfriend of the person responsible for the attack on the vice president of Argentina
The investigation of the attempted assassination of the vice president of Argentina, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, takes a new turn with the arrest of a third person. She is a friend of Brenda Uliarte, the girlfriend of the author of the attack, whose name she has not disclosed. Judicial sources quoted by the newspaper ‘Clarín’ have indicated that Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti, who has decreed the secrecy of the summary, has ordered the arrest because the suspect would have maintained telephone communication with Uliarte after the assassination attempt.
Specifically, sources from the Department of Justice have highlighted that the order was issued after analyzing Uliarte’s cell phone and finding conversations “with strong and important content” hours after the assassination attempt, which has led to suspicion of his alleged link with the attempt.
Three have already been arrested for the attack. This woman thus joins Fernando Sabag Montiel, a 35-year-old Brazilian, and his partner, Brenda Uliarte, a 23-year-old Argentine. The two are accused of “having tried to kill” the vice president “with the planning and prior agreement between both” on the 1st of this month, when the man fired a weapon twice, centimeters from Kirchner’s face, while the politician greeted her followers crowded around her home, supporting her after being accused of alleged corruption.
evidence of interest
The Police also carried out three searches in Buenos Aires in which more mobile phones, electronic devices and other elements of “interest to the cause” were seized, reports ‘Clarín’. The investigations have determined that the suspects had the weapon and its ammunition “since a date prior to the event”, at least since August 5 of last year, “without having the proper legal authorization.” Furthermore, according to the analysis of the mobile devices, the defendants had already tried to attack Kirchner on August 27, but aborted the plan.
On the other hand, the Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández, reported this Tuesday that Kirchner’s security was ordered to be reinforced after he received a death threat. “Yesterday there was a message through 911. They seem like small things, but there are no small things, it is serious, everything must be investigated,” stressed the minister, who affirms that, despite the situation, the vice president “is not frightened . Cristina is a very strong woman.
