An Argentine court has handed down sentences to Fernando Sabag Montiel and Brenda Uliarte, the pair accused in the September 1, 2022 attempted assassination of former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
Presiding Judge Sabrina Namer, who heads Federal Oral Criminal Court No. 6, declared Sabag Montiel criminally responsible as the principal author of attempted aggravated homicide and sentenced him to 10 years in prison. The court also added four years for possession of child pornography.
Uliarte was ordered to serve eight years after being found a “necessary participant” in the attempted aggravated homicide, which involved the use of a firearm. The two were a couple at the time of the attack.
The tribunal also acquitted Nicolás Carrizo, who had initially been identified as a suspected ringleader and was released from pretrial detention more than a year ago due to lack of evidence.
The ruling sparked immediate reactions. The Peronist youth organization La Cámpora asked, “What happened to the lead involving Gerardo Milman, the phone data wiped at Patricia Bullrich’s offices, and the financing tied to Caputo’s company? We don’t know, because the judiciary doesn’t want to investigate,” adding, “Three years after the attempted assassination, we’re still asking: Who ordered Cristina’s killing?”
Meanwhile, Moreno Mayor Mariel Fernández criticized the courts for “convicting the material perpetrators of the attempted assassination of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner but refusing to investigate the intellectual authors, among whom Milman, Bullrich, and Caputo are implicated.”
“The judiciary is quick to unjustly condemn CFK but cautious when it comes to following leads in the assassination attempt. We want to know who ordered the killing of Cristina,” Mariel Fernández said.
