Buenos Aires, Dec 22 (NA) – The Federal Chamber of Buenos Aires upheld the partial dismissal of the case investigating a presumed link between PRO party deputy Gerardo Milman and the attack on Cristina Kirchner, which occurred on September 1, 2022, in front of her home in the Recoleta neighborhood. The court ruled that there is insufficient evidence to sustain this hypothesis.
The decision was made by judges Pablo Bertuzzi, Leopoldo Bruglia, and Mariano Llorens of the Court of Appeals' Division I, who rejected the appeals filed by the plaintiff and the Public Prosecutor's Office against the first-instance resolution that had ordered the dismissal due to the impossibility of proceeding against Milman.
According to the ruling, which the Argentine News Agency had access to, the investigation was initiated based on the testimony of a witness who claimed to have heard the then-deputy utter the phrase "when they kill her, I'll be on my way to the coast" two days before the attack.
The judges also valued the results of the evidence gathered, particularly the mobile phone forensics and communications analysis.
In this sense, the ruling highlighted that in this debate, "there was no express mention of possible instigators, or other persons or groups that may have financed or contributed to carrying it out."
According to the resolution, "the seized mobile phones did not present content that would have been relevant to the investigation," nor did any useful elements emerge from call cross-references or geolocations.
The Court also took into account the ruling in the oral trial for the attack, in which the material authors were convicted, without any references to instigators or financiers emerging.
