The newspaper concludes that "as can be seen in the videos, after having had the weapon a few centimeters away without anyone noticing it, Cristina Kirchner continued to greet the people repeatedly, while the guard men of her security pushed her, without too much energy , to remove it from the scene ".
For his part, Sabag Montiel.
provisionally accused of attempted murder, he refused to answer the questions of the judge and prosecutor Carlos Rivolo, merely complaining about having suffered damage to an eye when people blocked him and prevented him from escaping.
Finally it was learned that the report on the Bersacaliber 32 pistol found on the ground confirmed that "it was in a condition to shoot" but that "there was no bullet in the barrel of the gun".
