Police probing an assassination attempt on Argentina’s vice president have arrested the girlfriend of the gunman filmed shooting Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
Brenda Uriarte, 23, was held on Sunday night on a train at Palermo satation in Buenos Aires.
Investigating judge Maria Eugenia Capuchetti ordered the detention after being handed CCTV images showing Uriarte and her boyfriend Fernando Montiel reaching the former president’s home in the Argentine capital together before Thursday night’s bungled shooting.
