The Airport Security Police (PSA) last night arrested a woman in the framework of the investigation for the attack once morest the vice president Cristina Kirchner. According to sources in the case, it is Agustina Díaz, a 21-year-old friend of Brenda Uliartethe girlfriend of Fernando Sabag Montielthe attacker of the vice president.
Díaz -the third arrested in this case- was arrested last night during police operations carried out in San Miguel, province of Buenos Aires. She does not belong to the group of snowflake vendors, of which Uliarte and Sabag Montiel were. “She was a person of extreme confidence to Brenda,” she told THE NATION a source who works on the file, who reported that Uliarte had her scheduled as “love of my life.” Diaz’s link to the attack arose from the analysis of Uliarte’s phone.
Díaz would have exchanged messages with her friend following the attack and collaborated with her so that she would not be discovered. Early today, Díaz’s parents appeared at the María Eugenia Capuchetti court, in the Comodoro Py courts, asking regarding her daughter, who is detained in a PSA unit.
Capuchetti will take your statement in the next few hours. This followingnoon, Díaz will meet with public defender Martín Hermida, appointed to represent her. Since Hermida is already defending Sabag, it is likely that he should excuse himself and another lawyer from the Office of the Ombudsman will intervene. In principle, Diaz’s investigation would take place tomorrow, said sources working on the case, which remains secret. It is also expected that Sabag and Uliarte will be investigated once more so that they can defend themselves once morest the new elements gathered once morest them.
Last night, by order of Capuchetti, three raids were carried out, two in the province of Buenos Aires and one in the city of Buenos Aires to seize cell phones and electronic devices, they told THE NATION case sources.
Meanwhile, police sources reported that at the request of the judge and prosecutor Carlos Rívolo they are concentrating on the reconstruction of the days prior to the attack. They detailed that they are observing the images “in detail”, reviewing the communications and analyzing the “georeferencing”, to try to establish the “circuits and routes” of the accused and other possible accomplices.
In addition, they are looking for “possible repeated presence of third parties in the vicinity of Juncal y Uruguay’s home,” the home of the vice president where the attack was committed.
In the last hours it was also known that there had been another previous attempt to attack Cristina Kirchner, on Saturday, August 27, which was aborted. The information arises, according to sources in the case, from communications between Sabag Montiel and Uliarte on that day, in which they reported having missed the opportunity to act. One of the messages that day, always according to official sources, said: “No, I already know he went inside and the stage the amphitheater took him out. I touched Axel Kicillof on the back and he got into a Toyota Etios eh and left, a mess. She’s upstairs but I don’t think she’ll come out so she’s gone, she leaves, I’m going there, stay there. Don’t bring anything,” he says. Sabag Montiel to the girlfriend.
That day, the images from the security cameras place Sabag Montiel in the vicinity of Cristina Kirchner’s apartment and the cell phone camera of one of the protesters recorded him regarding three meters from Axel Kicillof.
