Jonathan Morel, Leonardo Sosa, Gastón Guerra and Sabrina Basile, leaders of Revolución Federal, are accused of “public incitement to hatred, intolerance and collective violence against a leader in a specific context, to the point of bringing an individual to do what, in the words of the members of Revolución Federal, should “go down in history”, namely to attempt the life of the vice-president”, according to the court document.
These people have “exceeded the exercise of freedom of expression and the constitutional right to protest”, said judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi in this 60-page text.
This procedure is being done in parallel with the investigation into the assassination attempt against Mr.me Kirchner, which occurred on 1er September, when a man pointed his gun at her but couldn’t shoot.
The four accused were imprisoned from October 20 and then released on Wednesday by order of an appeals chamber, which considered that they did not present a risk to the investigation.
Judge Martínez de Giorgi pointed out that the far-right group “stopped publishing” following the attempted attack on the Peronist ex-president (2007-2015).
This attempt was perpetrated outside the home of Mr.me Kirchner, in Buenos Aires, by Fernando Sabag Montiel, 35, who approached her and pulled the trigger without the gun working.
This man and his companion, Brenda Uliarte (23), are imprisoned and charged with attempted homicide by judge María Eugenia Capuchetti, in charge of the case.
Brenda Uliarte was filmed in a demonstration against the leftist executive organized by Revolución Federal, which took a model guillotine and torches in front of the seat of government.
Judge Capuchetti felt that there was not enough evidence to merge the two investigations.
