“Why did the shot miss? How did you send this moron? … And then he got nervous?”. The message was sent by Agustina Diaz a Brenda Uliarte after the attack on Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. “Delete everything,” he also told her and advised her to get rid of his cell phone and any possible evidence. Diaz, 21, was arrested on Monday night after these communications were found on the cell phone of Brenda, Diaz’s girlfriend. Fernando Sabag Montiel, the man who tried to shoot the vice president. Both women spoke frequently for at least a month before the attack and deliberated on how to carry out the murder. Also from the messages on the phone, the researchers found that Sabag Montiel and Uliarte intended to rent an apartment near CFK’s home, presumably to keep an eye on her and plan the attack. Meanwhile, seeking to unravel how the group was financed and what structure it would have behind it, the judge Maria Eugenia Capuchetti ordered to lift banking secrecy and analyze movements of the Mercado Pago system. CFK finally appeared as a plaintiff in the case: it appointed the lawyers José Manuel Ubeira and Marcos Aldazábal.
“Love of my life” was the name with which Díaz appeared in the agenda of Uliarte’s cell phone. They had a relationship of confidants and intimacy, in addition to the fact that it was notorious that they shared expressions of hatred towards politics, the system and Kirchnerism, for what emerges from the analysis of the messages downloaded by the Airport Security Police (PSA) and was able to reconstruct this diary. The new detainee – the third in the file – will be investigated this Wednesday from 9. At the moment she is represented by the same official defender as Sabag Montiel, Juan Martín Hermida, although it will be necessary to see if the existence of conflicting interests is not evaluated.
It is possible that Uliarte and Sabag Montiel extended their investigation, to whom the new incorporated evidence would be shown.. The same Monday there were raids on Díaz’s home in San Miguel, another home in the same area and another in the City of Buenos Aires. These last two are also from people who had frequent contact with Brenda. Cell phones, notebooks, tablets and flash drives were seized in the three places. With this new panorama, the investigated group already exceeds the so-called “band of the cups”, Brenda’s friends who, like her, sold sugar flakes, an activity that seems to have operated as a screen. What is becoming increasingly clear is that there was planning, prior intelligence and cover-up maneuvers.
cell phone recharged
as reflected Page 12, Brenda’s cell phone turned out to be a huge source of information for the court case. From there it also emerges, through a series of audios, that she, together with Sabag Montiel they planned to rent an apartment in the Recoleta area to have a good view of CFK’s house, the environment and study the movements. It will be necessary to see if there is any relationship between that attempt and the striking presence of the lawyer Gladys Eguiwhich represents two members of the far-right group federal revolution, Leonardo Sosa and Gastón Guerra who, apparently, also met there. That group organized some of the most violent demonstrations in recent times (such as the torchlight and guillotine demonstrations), as a tenant of a room in the house of the vice president’s neighbor, Ximena de Tezanos Pinto. Brenda Uliarte participated in some of these hater protests and a common denominator of the people under investigation is that they participated in Telegram and WhatsApp groups precisely of “haters”. They are groups where hundreds of people converge to share news and comments and shake each other with extreme aggressiveness.
previous attempt
Another of the recent revelations, also derived from the exchange of messages between Uliarte and Sabag Montiel, is that they had made at least one previous attempt to assassinate the vice president on Saturday, August 27, the same day that the government of Horacio Rodriguez Larreta put fences in the block of her house, after which there was a massive mobilization towards there that led to her giving a speech at night on a stage set up for that occasion. The couple’s messages suggest that her plan was to kill her when she came out to speak. Sabag told Uliarte: “No, it’s not that he realizes it, the issue is that there is a C5N camera and there are few people, and people are leaving and that is the moment, now it is too late, that is, they are 12 o’clock and she left at that time, and it was at that time”. Another message from him insisted: “No, she already went inside and the stage, the amphitheater was taken out. I touched the back of Axel Kicillof and he got into a Toyota Etios, eh, and he left, a mess. She’s upstairs but I don’t think she’s going out, so she’s already gone, leave, I’m going there. Stay there, don’t bring anything.”
That last sentence leaves floating the possibility that it was Brenda who was carrying the gun, something that investigators suspect may have occurred on September 1, the day Sabag Montiel finally tried to shoot but missed. The judge ordered the white bag that Brenda was carrying that day to be examined, to establish whether the 32-caliber Bersa was there, which the couple also exhibited in photos found on the aggressor’s cell phone. With that bag, the woman left the place pretending to be distracted when Sabag was first taken away by the militants and then by the police. At night she slept at the house of an ex-boyfriend, who handed over what she left there to the court.
complaints
Cristina Kirchner finally presented a brief before the Capuchetti court in which she asks to be a plaintiff and that the lawyers she appointed, who are Jose Manuel Ubeira and Mark Aldazábal. He also required that “if the secrecy of the summary is decreed again, my lawyers be summoned to any definitive and irreproducible act.” Now the cause is not secret but it could be again. He also announced that when he deems it opportune, he will initiate civil actions with the sponsorship of Gregorio Dalbon.
On Monday afternoon, a new threat to the vice president, with a call from La Plata, with a female voice, to 911, saying that he would kill her. “Nothing should be minimized,” said the security minister, Hannibal Fernandez. Judge Capuchetti added the fact to the file and ordered CFK’s custody to be reinforced.
On the other hand, Serge Massa also decided to present himself as a plaintiff for the attack he suffered when he was driving in his car to be sworn in as Minister of Economy.
Financing
One of the big questions in the case is who financed and, eventually, guided or gave instructions to the group of suspects, which is still in the reconstruction stage. In this sense, a message from Uliarte found on his phone was suggestive: “If I lack money, I already know who to turn to”she told a friend. The judge ordered to lift the banking secrecy of those investigated who have accounts and analyze movements of applications such as Mercado Pago.
pedophilia
In a derivation of the main investigation, prosecutor Carlos Rívolo requested that Sabag Montiel be investigated for alleged pedophiliaafter images were found on his cell phone of “Persons appearing to be under the age of eighteen engaging in explicit sexual activity.”
