An Argentina court has initiated the oral trial against three individuals accused of attempting to assassinate former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in September 2022, with a loaded pistol that failed to fire. The trial involves Fernando Sabag Montiel, Brenda Uliarte, and Nicolas Carrizo, facing charges up to 15 years for attempted premeditated homicide. Kirchner, a divisive figure, is critical of the investigation and suspects a wider conspiracy involving political opponents. The trial is expected to last up to a year, with over 200 witnesses, including Kirchner herself, testifying. The defendants, in custody, deny involvement while Kirchner alleges a cover-up of motives behind the attack.
