The surveyed publicly assured that she had not seen her partner in the two days prior to the attack, but they were admitted together that day
Argentina’s federal police arrested Brenda Uliarte, the girlfriend of Fernando Andrés Sabag Montiel, the gunman who last Thursday attempted to assassinate the country’s vice president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, on Sunday evening — early Monday in Spain. She was transferred to the same center where her boyfriend is being held while she waited to go to court.
The operation was carried out at a train station in Buenos Aires on the orders of the judge in charge of the case, María Eugenia Capuchetti, after finding that Uliarte was with Montiel at the scene of the events. Justice works with the hypothesis that the shooter did not act alone.
There are several doubts about the role of Uliarte. The 23-year-old lied when she stated on local television last Friday, a day after the incident, that she had not seen her boyfriend for the past two days. The security cameras have dismantled his alibi. They were taken on public transport the same day of the assassination attempt. But not only that. An analysis of the cameras surrounding Kirchner’s home has enabled the judge to determine that both were together when Montiel pulled the trigger of his gun twice, a few inches from the vice president’s face. .
Hours before she was arrested, “Ámbar,” as the young woman is also known as the alias she used on social networks, made a live broadcast on her Instagram account. In front of an audience of just 30 people, he stated that “there is no reconciliation with the corrupt. No, guys. Enough corruption, whoever it is, from any political side. Enough of the corruption. From any country, anywhere. Enough corruption.
He also questioned the authenticity of the gun Sabag Montiel was using, a 32-caliber Bersa. “Maybe it was a water pistol. Who knows?” he stated, regarding the liquid that came out of the tip of the weapon, as can be seen in the videos of the incident. Some experts argue that the lubricant could be causing the gun to fail when fired. “They swapped his gun for a real gun and now this bard is eating,” he says, answering a question asked by one of his followers during the broadcast. What is clear is that the statements cast new doubts about his role in the assassination attempt.
Last Friday, the young woman had given an interview to the television channel ‘Telefe’. In it, he denied any relationship with the attack, assured that he was unaware that there was a hidden box of bullets in the house where he lived with Sabag Montiel, and even denied that he was his girlfriend, although he did admit that they had lived. a month together.
“He was a cool person, who makes jokes, loving, a good person. I didn’t think he would be capable of such a thing,” he said of his friend. “He complained about the economy, about the rise in the dollar, but like any other, not aggressive.” In any case, ‘Ámbar’ said she was “confused” by what was happening and denounced threats on social networks.
Judge Capuchetti ordered the secrecy of the summary Sunday afternoon after taking a statement from a friend of the 35-year-old Brazilian, the author of the attack, who claimed he was “able to commit the act”. The judge also questioned police technicians who blocked the person under investigation’s cell phone while trying to extract information from it. As reported by several local media outlets, the “phone factory reset” message appeared on the device’s screen, so Justice could have lost an important piece of evidence.
The judge had high hopes for the information the experts could extract from the device, as it could be determined whether the aggressor was acting alone or as part of an organization. In addition, it would allow a reconstruction of the suspect’s movements in the days leading up to when he fired his pistol twice at Kirchner without being able to fire because there was no bullet in the chamber.
