The girlfriend and five of the friends of Fernando Sabag Montiel, the aggressor arrested for triggering a gun to the head of Cristina Kirchner, gave an interview on Friday night. In this they disregarded the actions of the 35-year-old man and claimed to be afraid because of the constant threats they receive following the attack once morest the vice president.
Ámbar met the aggressor four months ago, but only began a romantic relationship with him in August. In addition, they worked together with several friends in a cotton candy business. But the criminal attack that Montiel tried to perpetrate once morest the former president turned his plans upside down and turned their lives into “a nightmare.”
«I am very afraid because they take away the possibility of working and also because they are blaming us for something we did not do. They say we are a terrorist group and we have nothing to do with it », the young woman told Telefe Noticias, who acknowledged that she was studying during the attack and that she found out regarding the incident on TV. “I didn’t think I was capable of doing something like that. I was stumped,” she admitted.
According to his account, Montiel, who has various symbols of Nazi ideology tattooed and followed numerous hate groups on social media, “is a good man” and a “worker.” “The image is of a cool person who makes jokes, loving, we did not think that he might do something like that,” he remarked.

In addition, he stated that he did not know Montiel’s criminal record, had never seen the weapon used in the attack, nor did he know regarding the 100 bullets found in the home they both shared. In this context, he criticized the raid carried out in that house and demanded that the authorities return his belongings. “I am with what I am wearing, they took all my clothes. It is unfair because I have nothing to do with it, I have nothing to wear,” he said.
Nicolás, another of Montiel’s friends present on the Telefe Noticias cell phone, was concerned regarding the threats they have received since the assassination attempt. “We came because we are receiving threats. We are not a group of terrorists, nor Nazis,” he assured.
Like Ámbar, she sought to distance herself from what had happened. “I never thought he would do something like this. When we saw it on TV we were all in shock, ”she commented.
The judicial situation of Montiel
Montiel, arrested following trying to shoot the vice president with a gun, refused to testify in court regarding the assassination attempt. However, he recognized the weapon he used as his own and had racist expressions with the protesters who, when they arrested him, caused a bruise on his eye.
The investigation was taken by Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti and Prosecutor Carlos Rívolo, who traveled at 7:00 p.m. from the courts of Comodoro Py 2002 to the headquarters of the Mounted Police Corps, of the Federal Police, on Cavia and Figueroa Alcorta streets in Palermo, where is the prisoner.
Montiel, assisted by the official defender Martín Hermida, argued in court that the 32-caliber pistol he used was his. He said a neighbor had lent it to him. The police corroborated the information and determined that the gun belonged to a person who died two years ago. It had part of the numbering filed off and partially kept the number 025.
For now, all the evidence collected indicates that he acted alone, he told The nation a research source. Many test measurements remain to be carried out.
