Argentina: Photos show the attack on Kirchner was premeditated

On Tuesday, September 6, the Argentine Justice said to have found photos that prove that the attack against Vice President Cristina Kirchner was premeditated. The information is from the Clarín newspaper.

In the images found in the chip and memory card of Fernando Andrés Sabag Montiel’s cell phone, the author of the attack and his girlfriend, Brenda Uliarte, arrested on Sunday, September 5, pose with the gun used in the act. There are also pictures of bullets.

Uliarte, who in an interview said she was “shocked” by her boyfriend’s attempted attack on Kirchner, appears in at least three photos with the pistol in her waistband. She had previously said she did not know that Sabag Montiel had a gun or ammunition.

The discovery strengthens the police hypothesis that the man did not act alone. The argument is that Brenda Uliarte would have played a key role in what investigators said was a plot to attack the Argentine vice president, according to Clarín.

Another fact that the photographs show is how long they have known each other. According to the defendants, they have been in a relationship for two months. The date of the pictures in which Uliarte appears is May 8, 2022. The setting of the photos would still be at Sabag Montiel’s home in the San Marín district.

The girlfriend had stated that she had not seen the accused since August 30, 2022, but security images show that she met with him on the day of the crime.

The two would have been identified in the vicinity of Cristina Kirchner’s house days before the attack by security cameras, increasing the severity of the charges, which is currently attempted murder.

The images were found on the cell phone’s memory card after analysis indicated that the device had been “reset to factory settings”. Investigators are looking into whether the reset could have been done remotely.

ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS ON THE INTERNET

On alternative channels on the internet, some people have questioned the legitimacy of the attempted attack on Cristina Kirchner, pointing out that it was indeed premeditated, but by the “victim” herself as a distraction tactic.

Up until the “attack”, the Vice President had been in the spotlight for the trial that could sentence her to up to 16 years in prison and end her political career.

Since this alleged attempt against her life, she went from being a potential political criminal on trial to being a victim. She continues in the spotlight but from an entirely different perspective.
