The complaint by Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in the case of the attempted murder suffered by the former president in September 2022 claimed to have "urgent" access to information reached the court about the telephone number of opposition deputy Gerardo Milman, accused in the investigation The proposal was made before the judge of the case, María Eugenia Capuchetti, after the magistrate decided to "keep in a safe, in a sealed and closed envelope, digital information" related to Milman and sent to the prosecutor of the case, Carlos Rívolo, by telephone companies, according to the letter to which Télam had access The Vice President's attorneys, José Manuel Ubeira and Marcos Aldazábal, presented an "appeal for reconsideration" against this decision made by the judge on September 15 and demanded that she annul it because "she must make the digital information available to the parties." urgently linked to Gerardo Milman". As recalled in the brief, the judge made this decision because the telephone companies sent, at the request of the prosecutor, information about the IMEI of Milman's cell phones along with a report of his incoming and outgoing calls. This last point would have required an order signed by the magistrate based on article 236 of the Criminal Procedure Code linked to the intervention of telephone communications or any other means of communication. " The judge maintained in her resolution that the companies "Telefónica and Telecom did not give a satisfactory response to the prosecutor's request, since they did not report whether to send IMEI traffic it was necessary to reveal information related to calls or messages." But the prosecutor had already requested the court order because he knew it was necessary and the magistrate replied that he should officiate with the telephone companies from the prosecutor's office, since she has delegated the investigation regarding IMEI reports of cell phones. "The prosecutor advised that the response regarding IMEI traffic includes data on calls and messages," the lawyers recalled. The complaint highlighted the "irrationality" of that decision and warned that the "attitude" of the magistrate "with respect to the entire procedure linked to Gerardo Milman increasingly arouses greater suspicions that the obstructions to the production of evidence are the product of bad will and not just obvious incompetence".
