Controversial Defense Attorney Appointed in Attack on Vice President Case

One of the main defendants for the attack on the vice president appointed a controversial defense attorney.

NATIONALS | The detainee then decided to change her defense lawyer, but with a very controversial figure, since although he was later acquitted, the lawyer was involved in the attack on the Jewish mutual. His previous lawyer was Gustavo Kollman, also with a controversial background since he was the lawyer for the driver Oscar Centeno, a key player in the call “Cause of the Notebooks”initiated against the figure of the vice president among other defendants.

The change occurs while the case could be sent to oral trial, in the section referring to the accusation against Uliarte and the other two detainees, her boyfriend Fernando Sabag Montiel and Gabriel Carrizo, at the request of the prosecutor Carlos Rivolo who already asked for the elevation to trial judge María Eugenia Capuchetti.

The Vice President’s complaint opposed the elevation to a partial trial, without exhausting the investigation into the possible involvement of the PRO deputy Gerardo Milman and other lines of investigation that were opened in the investigation but that were in no way deepened.

The appointment of Telleldín by Uliarte was notified to the parties this Friday by means of a warrant from the court handling the case, in charge of María Eugenia Capuchetti.

The controversial Carlos Telledín
Telleldín was detained for almost a decade accused of being a necessary participant in the AMIA attack. In prison he studied and graduated as a lawyer, a profession he has practiced since he was released after being acquitted in a first trial for that terrorist attack in 2003.

In 2020, Telleldín was subjected to a second trial by order of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, which revoked the acquittal in relation to his role as supplier of the truck used as a car bomb on July 18, 1994 against the headquarters of the Jewish mutual in Pasteur 633. In this second oral debate he was also acquitted.

When Uliarte was detained last year, there was also speculation that she would appoint Telleldín as private defender, but then she did not sign the designation and accepted the official defense. Uliarte is being prosecuted with pretrial detention as the alleged co-author of the assassination attempt on September 1, when her partner Sabag Montiel fired a gun a short distance from the Vice President’s face, but the bullet did not come out.
