Fernando Sabag Montiel, Brenda Uliarte, and Nicolás Carrizo are commonly referred to as the “Cotton Candy Gang” because they posed as street vendors of the sweet treat to allegedly spy on the vice president. On September 1 2022 Sabag Montiel attempted to shoot Kirchner at point-blank range outside her Recoleta home. Federal prosecutor Carlos Rivolo had requested that the three suspects be sent to oral trial on May 29. They also claim that sending parts of the complex case to oral trial separately further obfuscates the truth. The vice president has yet to comment on the latest update in the trial.
