Overview

• Fernando Sabag Montiel was convicted of aggravated attempted murder, and the judge said he will serve 14 years after combining the new term with prior convictions.
• Brenda Uliarte was found guilty as a "necessary accomplice" and received an eight-year sentence, as her defense argued mental incompetence.
• Prosecutors presented WhatsApp messages and evidence of prior visits to Kirchner’s home to argue the plot was planned in advance.
• The gun failed to fire at point-blank range outside Kirchner’s residence, and supporters detained Montiel immediately after the attempt.
• The attack occurred during Kirchner’s corruption trial, which later led to a conviction and house arrest in Buenos Aires since June.
