Another letter from Sabag Montiel from prison: ‘They want to make me disappear and blame Mauricio Macri’

“They want to make me disappear and blame Mauricio Macri.” With this expression, Fernando Sabag Montielaccused of attempting to kill Cristina Kirchner, finished the new letter he wrote from his place of detention. The letter is dated Tuesday, March 14, after details of his previous letter came out and a television producer from the C5N questioned him by phone that he left a contact in the court file so that prosecutor Diego Luciani could call him.

What Comodoro Py 2002 court officials are wondering is how it is possible that the inmate answer the phone freely in the pavilion of the Federal Penitentiary Service where he is staying, without contact with other prisoners. It is that the young man is not incommunicado, but the situation attracts their attention since it is a cause considered as “of institutional gravity”.

“I’ll be shipping soon,” he begins by saying. This time the letter is not addressed to prosecutor Luciani, who accused Cristina Kirchner in the Highway case, but to the judges who sentenced her to six years in prison. “I am addressing the Oral Criminal Chamber number 2 in charge of judges Andrés Basso, Jorge Gorini and Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu. I ask you to challenge María Eugenia Capuchetti”, writing. The request for recusal was motivated by the complaint of the former president, who assures that the magistrate does not want to investigate the political links of the attack.

Sabag Montiel asked the judges of the oral court to “seize the case since I have done the habeas corpus”. With the same tight handwriting as in the previous letter, the young man insists that he wants his lawyers, the official defenders who assist him, and that he refuses to receive. “They are bought by CFK. They broke my mobile phone at the PSA and they stole my musical instruments and my three cars,” he repeated. “They bribed Leandro Ulliarte, Brenda Ulliarte’s father. CFK gave him a house to hold us hostage.”

The young man also assures that Gabriel Carrizo, the boss of the copitos and imprisoned as a secondary participant in the attack, “had a weapon planted in him” and added “like Lagomarsino in the Nisman case”. He assured that they “arranged” with his tenant and the one he rented to keep his properties.

And he repeated: “The Federal Revolution is false.” They are preparing a fake story for the media and they kidnapped me and they won’t let me communicate with anyone or receive visitors”. This is how he added: “They want to make me disappear and blame Mauricio Macri. Call me (and leave your phone number again). THANKS”.

Last Monday, GlobeLiveMedia revealed the letter Sabag wrote for prosecutor Luciani, which never reached his hands and became part of the file. It dated March 3, before the Federal Chamber urged to raise the situation of the three detainees of the attack against the CFK: Sabag Montiel, Brenda Uliarte and Nicolás Carrizo.

Judge Capuchetti asked the prosecution to comply with the court’s instructions, but prosecutor Carlos Rívolo, who delegated the case, understood that a series of measures were still necessary to close this part of the investigation. A final attempt to retrieve the contents of Sabag Montiel’s phone, which was lost within hours of his arrest after federal police and airport security police tampered with the equipment.

In this telephone contact, Sabag Montiel confirmed that he wanted to kill the vice-president and assured that he had acted alone. “Why did you want to kill her?” they asked him “Basically, let’s see (he thinks), because of the situation in the country”. When asked if he really wanted to kill Cristina Kirchner, Sabag Montiel did not hesitate: “Yes, (the weapon) It was loaded, I pulled the trigger and the shot did not go out.. The gun had five bullets.”

“Me, instead of pulling the latch, I imagine the nerves of being in a place and Instead of pulling the slide I pulled the bolt back and when I pulled the trigger the shot didn’t come out.. Because among so much tumult, so many people, I was nervous, ”he simplified. Do you regret doing this?They asked him “No”, the young man answered without hesitation.
