BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – Argentine courts have ordered the arrest of a fourth suspect involved in organizing the failed firearm attack on Argentina’s Vice President Cristina Kirchner nearly two weeks ago, local media reported on Wednesday.
Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti ordered the arrest of Nicolás Gabriel Carrizo, who, after the assassination attempt, declared that he had hosted Brenda Uliarte, the alleged partner of the aggressor Fernando Sabag Montiel, at his home, and that both had already been arrested. She reported on the Clarín and La Nation newspapers.
Montiel was arrested near the vice president’s home on the night of September 1, after Cristina fired twice with a pistol before a bullet came out of her head.
In a television interview after the attack, Carrizo said that he and Uliarte “had nothing to do with it”.
On Tuesday, the court arrested the third suspect for being part of a small unofficial organization that would plan the attack on Cristina, the powerful Peronist vice president that ruled the country from 2007 to 2015.
