A man and a woman are on trial as “accomplices” of two others, accused of attempting to kill Argentina’s Vice President Cristina Kirchner a month later, according to a court document released by the press on Saturday.
Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti sued Gabriel Carrizo, 27, and Agustina Díaz, 21, the so-called “cotton candy gang” leader, on bail of 100 million pesos ($670,000).
Both were already in custody, as were Fernando Sabag Montiel, 35, and his girlfriend, 23-year-old Brenda Uliarte, who was on trial for “attempted murder” two weeks ago.
In a statement released by the Argentine press on Saturday, the judge said, “It has been proven that the defendants Sabag Montiel, Uliarte, Carrizo and Díaz have a joint plan to kill the Vice President of the Nation.” Said.
Carrizo presented himself to the media as the owner of a cotton candy machine for a group of street vendors; it was apparently used as a cover to conduct intelligence work on the street. Agustina Díaz is a close friend of Uliarte.
The failed attack took place on September 1 outside the former president’s office in Buenos Aires; Here, camouflaged among Kirchner supporters, Sabag Montiel managed to get close to him and pull the trigger of a 32-inch pistol from his head. The gun failed.
Sabag, who had Nazi symbols tattooed on his body, was arrested at the scene, and his girlfriend was arrested three days later.
In a 127-page decision, the judge considered that the evidence collected limited “the defendant’s predestined and direct intent to end the victim’s life”.
According to the verdict, the analysis of the WhatsApp posts “leaded to determine that all the defendants came together to cause the death of the vice president, to exchange views on how the action should be carried out”.
The judge states that the plan began to be developed on April 22, when Uliarte “will receive the semi-automatic pistol” used in the attack.
“On July 4, Uliarte and Díaz had already begun planning how they could circumvent the vice president’s security actions to carry out their criminal plans,” he adds.
Carrizo is accused of “providing an unused firearm in the end” and “having full knowledge of the criminal plot”. They also accuse him of having falsified disability certificates for Sabag Montiel and Uliarte’s mother.
A month after the failed attempt, the four teenagers who were arrested and hated Kirchner are being investigated for any organization or source of funding.
