Capuchetti Partially Archives Case Against Deputy Milman in Kirchner Attack Probe

Citing a lack of corroboration after a court‑validated forensic review of his phone, the judge ordered a reopenable procedural archive.

Overview

  • Federal Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti ruled on October 2 to archive the file against Gerardo Milman under article 195 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which does not amount to a definitive acquittal.
  • Ex‑advisor Jorge Abello, whose account was the sole basis of the accusation, was summoned to an indagatoria in mid‑October for alleged false testimony.
  • Capuchetti requested Abello’s incoming and outgoing call records from July 1 to September 28, 2022, as part of the false‑testimony inquiry.
  • A manual forensic review of Milman’s iPhone—covering more than 650,000 messages, audios and images—found no digital material linking him to the 2022 attack, a peritaje validated by the Federal Chamber despite objections to Gendarmería’s role.
  • Investigators had corroborated Milman’s presence at the Casablanca bar but found no independent evidence or recoverable messages to confirm Abello’s alleged quote, and limited pending measures remain with the case reopenable if new elements arise.
