The investigation into Fernando Sabag Montiel, who was accused of trying to kill Argentina’s Vice President Cristina Kirchner, discovered possible child pornography content on his mobile phone. Argentina’s federal prosecutor, Carlos Rívolo, requested that the accused be investigated for pedophilia.
According to the website El diarioar and Télam Digital, Rívolo said that his mobile phone had pictures of “people who looked younger than eighteen” and that they “participated in explicit sexual activities”.
The contents of the 35-year-old suspect’s memory card were analyzed by the Argentine State Ministry’s Ufeci (Cyber Crime Specialist Financial Unit) and found 126 files (including photos and videos) containing possible child pornographic content.
According to Globo, Rívolo also requested that the Brazilian be investigated for the possession and distribution of content containing child pornography, and asked the man to make a statement on the matter. The prosecution’s pedophilia request was made as part of the investigation into Kirchner’s attempted murder.
Forensic sources said that Buenos Aires Attorney General Juan Bautista Mahiques has been “delivered to federal justice” and that the material found on the suspect’s phone will “be reviewed by the Buenos Aires justice” to determine the possible commission of this crime.
On CNN Argentina’s La Mañana program, Mahiques stated that “we still need to examine the phone and then the memory card to analyze the content of the videos and photos.”
“Only then would it be possible to determine whether there is only ownership and distribution. [do crime de pornografia infantil] or if it will be framed in the crime of abuse. It’s too soon to take it lightly because we’re just getting the material to be evaluated.”
