Overview

• Closing arguments resumed at Comodoro Py, opening with the defense after more than a year of public hearings with roughly 200 witnesses.
• Prosecutor Gabriela Baigún requested 15 years for attempted aggravated homicide and asked to unify that with a prior 4‑year conviction for a total of 19 years.
• The prosecution seeks 14 years for Brenda Uliarte as a necessary participant, while Cristina Kirchner’s lawyers asked for 15 years for both Sabag Montiel and Uliarte and framed the attack in political and gendered terms.
