The attack occurred in front of Kirchner’s home, when the subject mingled with a group of supporters who were waiting for the vice president to greet her, eight days after the Prosecutor’s Office requested his conviction for a corruption case.
I did it of my own accord, they are making up a story, I acted alone.
“I pulled the trigger and the shot did not go out, the weapon had five bullets,” said Sabag Montiel (35 years old) arrested in the Ezeiza prison, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

The subject responded with an emphatic “no” when asked if he regretted the act, while he pointed out that he did it “because of the situation in the country.” “Instead of pulling the bolt, imagine the nerves of being in a place, of pulling the slide, I pulled the bolt back and when I pulled the trigger the shot didn’t come out because in the midst of so much tumult, so many people, I was nervous,” he recounted. .
The court considered that the attack was planned by Montiel and Uliarte.

The case for the attack on Kirchner is still in the investigation stage before it is brought to trial. The prosecutor in the case, Carlos Rívolo, again requested expertise on Sabag Montiel’s mobile phone whose content was allegedly deleted by mistake in the first manipulations carried out by the police.
The vice president has demanded that the courts investigate the masterminds of the attack, presuming that Sabag was a mere executor who received orders.
