Overview
- Federal prosecutors Gabriela Baigún and Mariela Labozzetta appealed to the Chamber of Criminal Cassation to raise the penalties for Fernando Sabag Montiel and Brenda Uliarte to 15 and 14 years.
- TOF 6 in October sentenced Sabag Montiel to 10 years as the shooter and Uliarte to 8 years as a necessary participant, rejecting treachery and gender‑based political violence aggravators.
- The appeal argues the attack qualifies as attempted homicide aggravated by treachery and by political gender‑based violence, in addition to the use of a firearm.
- Prosecutors cite evidence that Sabag Montiel posed as a supporter, had studied the scene, and left the victim without a viable defense, referencing his confession, messages, and witness testimony.
- They contend the trial applied an unduly narrow view of gender violence by requiring interpersonal dynamics, asserting that law 27.533 recognizes political violence as a relevant modality; the Cassation ruling is pending.
