Argentina arrests 4th suspect in attack on Cristina Kirchner

Argentine justice ordered the arrest of a fourth suspect of involvement in the organization of a firearm attack on Argentina’s vice president, Cristina Kirchner, almost fifteen days ago, the newspapers Clarín and La Nación reported on Wednesday (14).

On the date of the attack, the gun is fired twice in the direction of the vice president’s head, but fails.

Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti ordered the arrest of Nicolás Gabriel Carrizo, who declared that, after the assassination attempt, he had received Brenda Uliarte, the alleged partner of the aggressor Fernando Sabag Montiel, into his home, both of whom had already been arrested.

Montiel was arrested on the night of September 1st near the vice president’s house, after he had twice fired a pistol inches from Cristina’s head, without the bullet leaving.

In a television interview after the attack, Carrizo, alongside Uliarte, said they had “nothing to do with it”.

This Tuesday, the court arrested the third suspect of being part of a small informal organization that would have planned the attack on Cristina, the Peronist vice president who ruled the country between 2007 and 2015.
