MADRID, Sep. 13 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The security forces of Argentina have arrested a friend of Brenda Uliarte, the sentimental partner of the man who tried to assassinate the country’s vice president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, in the surroundings of her home.

Judicial sources quoted by the Argentine newspaper ‘Clarin’ have indicated that the arrest of the woman, whose identity has not transpired, has been ordered by Judge Maria Eugenia Capuchetti, who has decreed the secrecy of the summary.

The woman would have maintained telephone communication with Uliarte after the assassination attempt on Fernandez de Kirchner. Both Uliarte and the main suspect, Fernando Sabag Montiel, were arrested and charged after the event.

These sources have highlighted that the arrest warrant was issued after the analysis of Uliarte’s mobile phone detected communications “of strong and important content” that would have been maintained hours after the assassination attempt, which has led to suspicion of their alleged link with the attack.

Likewise, agents of the Airport Security Police (PSA) carried out a series of raids in the capital, Buenos Aires, in which more mobile phones, electronic devices and other items classified as “interest to the cause” were seized, according to ‘Clarion’.

Uliarte, 23, was accused by Capuchetti of having “planned” the assassination attempt, which had a “prior agreement” between Uliarte and Sabag Montiel. For her part, Sabag Montiel was arrested after trying to fire a gun centimeters from the face of the Argentine vice president in the vicinity of her home, an event from which Fernandez de Kirchner emerged unharmed.
