Prosecutor Carlos Rívolo, in charge of the file on the attack against Cristina Kirchner, advanced this week by leaps and bounds in the line of investigation of the so-called “Casablanca Clue”, which seeks to determine if PRO deputy Gerardo Milman had prior knowledge of the attempted murder of the vice president
Two big unknowns arise from this line of investigation: the first, if Jorge Abello (the key witness) heard what he heard, and the second, if Milman actually said what they say he said. On these two points orbit other protagonists with whom Justice seeks to prove a specific fact: one of the two lied.
What is also known as the “Milman track” was proposed by the complaint and has as its epicenter the statement of Abello as a “key witness.” The adviser to the deputy of the Frente de Todos Marcos Cleri, whose identity was kept confidential for some time, said he had heard Milman on August 30, two days before Fernando Sabag Montiel fired the trigger less than half a meter from Cristina Fernandez’s face, say that “when they kill her, I will be on my way to the coast”.
The subpoena for the extension of Abello’s testimony is an enigma since he is resting after having suffered a mild cerebrovascular accident from which he had no serious sequelae, but which required him to take several days to recover.
However, other testing measures were consummated during the last days; The first was the statement by legislator Cleri, who showed the prosecutor Rívolo the messages he received from his collaborator, while answering questions related to the moment he received said messages and the amount of time elapsed until the Justice took notice of it. through the lawsuit.
“Marcos, yesterday when I left your office I went with my brother-in-law to eat in Casablanca. Next to me was Milman with two girls and he funny said ‘when they kill her I’m on my way to the coast’ and they laughed to death”, said one of the four messages that Abello sent to Cleri, minutes after Sabag Montiel pointed to Cristina with a 32 caliber Bersa.
Along the same lines, Tucuman deputy Mario Leito also declared. He did it by videoconference from Qatar, where he traveled to watch the World Cup despite criticism from his peers.
Finally, Milman’s advisers appeared at Comodoro Py to expand their statement. Carolina Gómez Mónaco and Ivana Bohdziewicz were giving testimony for more than an hour in Rívolo’s office. The expectation centered on their cell phones, a fundamental key (together with Abello’s testimony) to corroborate or rule out Milman’s alleged statements.
Both consigned their devices, each one with its particularity: Gómez Mónaco announced that he had changed his phone, but that he had the contents of the previous one that he gave to his sister and that he also made available to the Justice, and Bohdziewicz deleted messages and photos, because in his opinion his privacy could be violated if they asked for his phone number.
“I never spoke of anything related to the attack on the vice president in terms of criminal participation in it. We have talked about the issue of the attack, from the point of view of what was heard in the media,” Ivana clarified.
For his part, Gómez Mónaco downplayed the content of his phone. When Rívolo asked her if she was willing to hand it over, the former Ministry of Security official assured that Abello’s statements were not true: “I do not consider it necessary in view of what a witness says he heard, which is an absolute lie, but I can make it (the phone) available”.
The other big unknown in what is also known as the “Casablanca track” is whether Milman will be called to testify, something that throughout the line of investigation was known never happened. The PRO legislator appeared before the Court at the end of October in a letter in which he denied having prior knowledge of the attack and in which he also demanded that Jorge Abello be investigated for false testimony, of whom he assured that his story obeyed “unconfessed political purposes”. .
