A video recovered from the SIM card of Fernando Sabag Montiel’s cell phone shows the Brazilian seized months ago a weapon to be used in the September 1 attack on Cristina Kirchner. According to forensic sources heard by the Argentine news portal Clarín, this “confirms that he was aware of its use”.
The judge also had access to the testimony of a militant who was outside the vice president’s home the night of the attack, who testified before the federal court as a witness, who said he saw the defendant “in an attempt to manipulate the area”. The “slip” of the Bersa 32-caliber gun, after the shot did not come out. DNA of the main defendant in the case was confirmed to be on the slide (or bolt) of the pistol.
According to the court’s information to Clarín, Brazilian Bersa kept his pistol in his home in San Martín for a year. He still kept two boxes of 50 rounds each, matching the caliber of the gun the vice president had placed a few centimeters from his head.
One of the questions raised in the case, which was investigated by federal judge María Eugenia Capuchetti and prosecutor Carlos Rívolo, was whether he really intended to kill Cristina Kirchner. After firing twice, the shot did not go out. This situation brought up a series of questions about knowledge of the use and operation of the pistol.
Argentine Justice put forward a specific thesis that Montiel wanted to “kill Cristina Kirchner, relying on planning and prior agreement” between herself and her friend Brenda Uliarte. This is the accusation that falls on the couple and will put them on trial for attempted murder.
A witness before federal court said he saw Montiel manipulating the gun, more specifically moving the gun slide. He said that Thursday, in the midst of the militancy, the Brazilian “didn’t have much ability to move,” but was able to observe “how he took the gun against his body and” in a matter of seconds. tried to manipulate”, tried to fire the gun.
The testimony is reinforced by one detail: the Bersa 32 is semi-automatic, and it is necessary to move the bolt in order for the bullets to enter the chamber.
These words are seen by investigators as further evidence complicating the 35-year-old’s case. Sources in the case told Clarín, “The gun slide contained DNA from Montiel and is consistent with the statement taken.”
Possession of the gun is part of the evidence analyzed and added to the charge against Montiel, which brings further information: He was not authorized to carry it.
