Buenos Aires man who shot two progressive women in March ID'd as Macri supporter, and hiding in U.S.
The man who fired shots at a gathering of members of the center-left Nuevo Encuentro party in midtown Buenos Aires on the evening of March 5, injuring two women (including one carrying a toddler), has been identified as Alejandro Fabián Cidero.
Records show Cidero contributed to President Mauricio Macri's right-wing PRO campaign last year, and that he entered the United States within days of the incident.
The sniper lived in an apartment high-rise overlooking the Nuevo Encuentro office opened that evening. PRO records from the 2015 campaign show that he donated 50 pesos ($5 at the time), and he was known by acquaintances to be especially hostile toward Kirchnerists - supporters of the center-left FpV, to which the smaller Nuevo Encuentro party is an ally.
Daiana Soto, 19, and Florencia Girotti, 30, were both shot in the arm; Soto was carrying her little sister, a toddler, in the same arm that was shot by the .32 caliber bullet.
The leader of the Nuevo Encuentro party, Martín Sabbatella, blamed the attacks at the time on a "political context in which opponents (of the right-wing Macri administration) have been vilified" and called on President Macri to "emphatically repudiate these incidents of political violence, which by sheer luck didn't kill anybody."
Macri later did so, and Security Minister Patricia Bullrich and Interior Minister Rogelio Frigerio met with Sabbatella to discuss the case. Its handling by the City of Buenos Aires Metropolitan Police - a force created by Macri and frequently used for warrantless searches, wiretapping, and other politically-motivated activities - was so lethargic that attorneys representing the injured women had the investigation taken over by the National Gendarmerie.
Gendarmerie investigators were able to ascertain the identity of the sniper by cross-referencing serial numbers taken from the bullets with RENAR agency data on gun owners residing in the Torres Jardín apartment complex. Cidero, according to customs records, had by then fled to the United States.
The Macri administration has not commented further on the case, and no international arrest warrants have as yet been issued.

South Florida has a huge group of right-wing monsters who are hiding out from justice in their home countries, including, still, the former President and Vice-President of Bolivia.
Had no idea that Macri wielded so much power while the mayor of Buenos Aires. That sounds horrible. Searches without warrants, wiretapping? So wrong.

It's good to know that at least the name of the sniper was released to the public, and wasn't intercepted and suppressed by Macri.
Jorge Alberto Palacios
Jorge Alberto Palacios (born April 7, 1949), also known as "Fino" Palacios is a controversial Argentine policeman.[1]
Career[edit]
Head of the Argentine Federal Police Anti-Terrorism Unit, in 2009 he was appointed by Mayor Mauricio Macri to lead the Metropolitan Police, the new police force of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. This designation was questioned by the public, because of charges levied on him.[2][3] The appointment ended with his arrest on the charges below, in December 2009.
Accusations and Controversies[edit]
He is currently under indictment in the AMIA court case, "considered a necessary participant in the crime of concealment, author criminally responsible for the crime of abuse of authority and author of the crime of violation of evidence."[1][3][4][5]
Previously he was prosecuted for the causes of repression and killing of protesters in 2001, which was finally acquitted by the Federal Chambers.[6] He was also publicly linked to the murder of Axel Blumberg, the son of Juan Carlos Blumberg, although Palacios defended himself by saying that "is an invention, as reflected in the statements of the father" of the victim.[6]
For his part, Palacios denies all allegations and claims that there is a "smear campaign" against him.[6]
He is also controversial for his book Terrorismo en la aldea global (Terrorism in the global village), especially the bias of its analysis. In particular, he asserts that "Argentina was the theater of Marxist revolutionaries who sow violence and terror in the citizenry", but does not mention state-sponsored terrorism in Argentina at all.[7]
Spy scandal[edit]
Main article: Spy scandal on the City of Buenos Aires
In October 2009, Sergio Burstein, one of the leaders of the Jewish community who had led the opposition against the appointment of Fino Palacios as Chief of Police (because of his connections with the terrorist attack on the AMIA), he denounced in court was being spied on by the Police of the City of Buenos Aires.[8] Shortly thereafter, the Justice observed that in fact, Burnstein was being spied upon by a band that would be part Fino and his successor Osvaldo Palacios Chamorro, a federal police lawyer who worked for the Ministry of Education of Buenos Aires (Ciro James), two judges in Misiones Province, and others.[8]
The investigation revealed that the spying included opposition leaders and even leaders of Macri's own party as well as businessmen, trade unionists and their families between the Head of Government, as the spies had illegally tapped the phone of his brother-in-law, a parapsychologist who had been threatened by the father of Macri, industrialist Franco Macri. In December 2009, Fino Palacios, Osvaldo Ciro Chamorro and James, were arrested for this case, while he had to give the Education Minister Mariano Narodowski, by assuming the place the writer Abel Posse.[9]

(Nearly got hiccups, and dizzy after seeing this material! Unbelievable! Every single part of it. What madness. What a shame there isn't a large enough butterfly net to put over all of them, to haul them off together.)

He looks like a man with a impaired conscience, doesn't he? Wow.
"brother-in-law, a parapsychologist who had been threatened by the father of Macri" sounds like a very strange story.
