Buenos Aires, Nov 14 (Prensa Latina) The lawyers of Argentinian Vice President, Cristina Fernández, formally requested, the recusal of Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti for irregularities in the investigation into the attempt of assassination against the president of the Senate.

According to Página 12 journal, José Manuel Ubeira and Marcos Aldazabal, representatives of Fernández, will request Capuchetti’s removal from the case for obstructing the investigation, when the first evidence of linking opposition politicians to the crime appeared.

On September 1st. 2022, an individual named Fernando Sabag pointed a gun at Fernández’s head, but the weapon failed to shoot.

The man, his girlfriend Brenda Uliarte, and another suspect named Gabriel Carrizo, remain in custody. Capuchetti refused to analyze the links of those people with the far-right organization “Federal Revolution,” which received funding from the Caputo Hermanos company, whose owners are related to former President Mauricio Macri.

The vice president recently published a video on Twitter in which the relations of politicians with the attack are detailed and states that such an aggression was “the most serious event of a succession of violent actions against Fernandez this year.”
