Argentine Vice President Cristina Kirchner on Thursday called for the expulsion of a judge who is leading the investigation into an alleged attempted murder of her.

The former president, 69, accused judge Maria Eugenia Capuchetti of not investigating the political connections of her attackers.

Kirchner survived the assassination on September 1 while mingling with supporters outside her home in Buenos Aires when the gun wielded by her alleged assailant failed to fire.

She tweeted that she had asked her attorneys to press for Capuchetti’s removal. In a video accompanying the post, a female voice accuses the judge of failing to interview an opposition politician whom the video is trying to link to the alleged assassination.

“It is clear that the ‘Justice Party’ does not want Cristina as a victim. She wants her locked up or dead,” the narrator said.

In the video, the narrator claims that a witness overheard lawmaker Gerardo Milman making a comment two days before the attack that could presumably link him to an assassination plot.

Kirchner’s lawyer Gregorio Dalbon claimed shortly after the failed attack that the attacker could not have acted alone, others must have been involved in the conspiracy.

Four people have been charged with involvement in the attack.

The alleged assailant Fernando Sabag Montiel, 35, was arrested at the scene when he was arrested by Kirchner supporters who had come to her home as she was on trial over alleged corruption while she was president.

Montiel’s girlfriend Brenda Uliarte, 23, was taken into custody three days later.

Gabriel Carrizo, 27, and Agustina Diaz, 21, were later arrested and charged with complicity in the attack.

However, Diaz has since been released after an appeals court found there was a lack of evidence to charge her.

Kirchner is among 13 people accused of fraud and corruption during her two terms as president and the tenure of her late husband Nestor.

The ongoing case concerns bribes allegedly paid in her political stronghold, Patagonia.

Kirchner, who is also implicated in several other corruption investigations, has always claimed to be a victim of political persecution.

Prosecutors have asked that she be sentenced to 12 years in prison and a lifetime ban on politics.

A verdict is expected at the end of the year.
