In another long letter –the second she writes since Nisman’s death-, Ms. Kirchner said that the “real operation against the government was the prosecutor’s death” and she added: “They used him while he was alive and then they needed him dead. It is that sad and terrible.”
The head of State posted a photo of the front page of yesterday’s Buenos Aires Herald, which featured the first page of Nisman’s complaint against the government for allegedly covering up the attack against the AMIA Jewish centre, which was released on Tuesday by Federal Judge Ariel Lijo. She praised the “surgical –or maybe linguistic- accuracy” of the Herald’s headline: “Nothing new. Nisman’s report fails to fan flames of conspiracy.”
Ms. Kirchner said that the writt of the complaint has turned “certain questions” into “certainties.”
“The Buenos Aires Herald was right. ‘Nothing new.’ But also for other reasons: Nisman’s report ‘was planted’ with false information,” she added.
“Nisman’s accusation not only collapses, but it becomes a real political and legal scandal,” the president wrote. “Prosecutor Nisman did not know that the intelligence agents that he listed as such, were in fact not. Least of all that one of them had been accused by (ex Intelligence chief ‘Jaime’) Stiusso himself.”
Antonio "Jaime" Stiusso, a senior spy, was fired in a December shake-up of the agency, where one of his duties was to help Nisman with the investigation into the 1994 bombing.
The Intelligence Secretariat (SI) has recently denied that the two supposed intelligence agents listed in late Alberto Nisman’s complaint — Héctor Yrimia and Ramón Allan Héctor Bogado — were members of that agency.
“If Stiusso was the one feeding Nisman with all the information, it is more than evident that it was Stiusso himself who told him (or wrote to him?) that Bogado and Yrimia were Intelligence agents,” the president added.”
She pointed to the statements by AMIA probe judge, Rodolfo Canicoba Corral. "(He) has criticised the involvement of Stiuso, saying that instead of helping with the investigation, he ended up leading it. I personally believe that he did more than that. The facts speak for themselves."
“The scandal sparked by the complaint (…) filled with ‘planted’ information, was covered by the death of the prosecutor. That is, an apparent suicide. A resource that has already been used in many sadly renowned cases,” she stated.

Argentina's government says rogue agents from the intelligence services may have been behind the suspicious death of a state prosecutor who accused the government of taking part in a cover-up related to the 1994 bombing of a Jewish centre...
ReplyDeleteThe government says Nisman’s allegations and his death were linked to a power struggle within Argentina’s intelligence agency and agents who had recently been fired.
It says they deliberately misled Nisman and may have had a hand in writing parts of his 350-page complaint.
“When he was alive they needed him to present the charges against the president. Then, undoubtedly, it was useful to have him dead,” the president’s chief of staff, Anibal Fernandez, said Friday.
Alberto Nisman was found dead in his apartment late on Sunday, a gunshot wound to his head and a 22 caliber pistol by his side along with a single shell casing.
He had been scheduled to appear before Congress on Monday to answer questions about his allegations that President Cristina Kirchner conspired to derail his investigation of the attack by taking part in a cover-up shielding Iranian officals suspected of planning the attack...................http://www.france24.com/en/20150123-rogue-agents-killed-argentine-prosecutor-intelligence-service/

US calls for ‘complete, impartial’ investigation ...
ReplyDeleteThe US government has called for a “complete and impartial” investigation on the death of AMIA special prosecutor Alberto Nisman, who had accused President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner of covering up the 1994 bombing of the Jewish community centre.
"Judicial authorities are investigating his death and we call for a complete and impartial investigation,” US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said to reporters.
Psaki refused to comment on Nisman’s allegations against Ms. Kirchner or to speculate on the cause of the prosecutor’s death. “There is an ongoing investigation and we will make no comments,” she said.
"The United States and the international community continue to work with the Argentine government, as well as victims of the AMIA bombing and their families, to seek justice," Psaki added.
The US official lamented Nisman’s death. She said that he "courageously devoted much of his professional life" to going after those responsible for the attack on AMIA Jewish centre in Buenos Aires.

El fiscal federal Gerardo Pollicita imputó este viernes a la presidenta Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, al canciller Héctor Timerman y varios cargos más, a raíz de las denuncias de Alberto Nisman, informó la prensa bonaerense....
ReplyDeleteLa imputación, por posible encubrimiento a iraníes por el atentado a la AMIA, se extiende también al político Luis D"Elía y al diputado Andrés Larroque, y es resultado de la denuncia que el fiscal Alberto Nisman formulara cuatro días antes de su muerte, escribe el diario Clarín.
En su resolución, el fiscal señala que "corresponderá en lo sucesivo iniciar la pertinente investigación con miras a comprobar (…) la existencia del hecho y, consecuentemente, si el mismo puede ser penalmente reprochado a sus responsables".
