Overview

• Federal Oral Court No. 6 convicted Fernando Sabag Montiel and Brenda Uliarte for the 2022 attack on Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, sentencing them to 10 and 8 years, and acquitted Nicolás Carrizo.
• Prosecutors had sought harsher terms under attempted homicide triply aggravated, including a political form of gender‑based violence; the court will publish its reasoning on December 9.
• Electoral judge Alejo Ramos Padilla accepted Espert’s withdrawal but rejected La Libertad Avanza’s bid to put Diego Santilli first, ordering an upward shift that places Karen Reichardt at the top and Santilli second.
• The Buenos Aires Electoral Board held a hearing on LLA’s request to reprint paper ballots without Espert, with the Interior Ministry assessing costs, timelines, and distribution logistics; a decision remains pending.
• Espert was formally imputed in Argentina for alleged money laundering tied to a US$200,000 transfer linked to Federico “Fred” Machado, requested a three‑month leave from Congress, and Machado remains detained in Viedma with extradition steps to the United States moving forward.
