Court to Deliver Verdict Today in Attempted Assassination of Cristina Kirchner

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner will follow the decision from home under court‑ordered house arrest.

Overview

  • Tribunal Oral Federal No. 6 is set to announce its decision after a 15‑month trial that heard 157 witnesses in Buenos Aires.
  • Fernando Sabag Montiel is accused as the material author and Brenda Uliarte as a necessary participant in a triply aggravated attempted homicide involving gender‑based political violence and use of a firearm.
  • Prosecutors requested 15 years for Sabag Montiel, seeking unification with a prior sentence to total 19 years, and about 14 years for Uliarte.
  • Nicolás Carrizo is poised for acquittal after both the prosecution and the Kirchner legal team withdrew their accusations against him.
  • Sabag Montiel previously confessed he intended to kill Kirchner, while defenses for him and Uliarte pressed mental‑health arguments and sought to halt or nullify liability.
