A forthcoming report from one of Argentina\u2019s top security agencies will confirm that Alberto Nisman \u2014 the special prosecutor who investigated the July 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires, in which 85 people were killed \u2014 was murdered in his apartment on January 18, 2015.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nisman was found dead one day before he was due to present a complaint to the Argentine Congress accusing leading politicians, including former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, of colluding with Tehran to cover up Iranian culpability for the atrocity. A team of investigators appointed by the Kirchner government concluded \u2014 following a controversial investigation that was heavily criticized by Nisman\u2019s family \u2014 that the special prosecutor committed suicide using a gun supplied to him by Diego Lagomarsino, a computer specialist employed by Nisman.<\/span><\/p>\n

But a new report from the Gendarmeria, a federal security force, will put the suicide theory to bed once and for all and show that Nisman was murdered, according to Argentine news outlets. The report\u2019s publication is expected within the next thirty days, the Clarin newspaper said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a major development,\u201d Eamonn MacDonagh \u2014 an expert on Argentine politics who has written widely on the Nisman case \u2014 told The Algemeiner. \u201cOnce Eduardo Taiano, the fiscal, or prosecutor, has the report in his hand, he\u2019ll be able to say that this is a murder investigation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Commissioned by Taiano and investigating judge Julian Ercolini toward the end of 2016, the Gendarmeria report is based on a careful reconstruction of the crime scene at Nisman\u2019s Buenos Aires apartment. Officials close to the investigation said that it was likely to confirm the widespread suspicion that Nisman was murdered.<\/span><\/p>\n

An unnamed intelligence source told the La Nacion newspaper that \u201cthe results will be in accord with what has always been said \u2014 that Nisman couldn\u2019t have been alone when he died, because of the position of his body when it was found.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Writing in Clarin, journalist Julio Blanck listed some of the faults of the original investigation into Nisman\u2019s death led by Viviana Fein, a Kirchner ally. \u201cThe position of the body, the spot where the weapon was found, the missing details as to when the special prosecutor was shot in the head and died \u2014 all those inaccuracies were part of the thick fog from Cristina\u2019s government to distract from the truth about the case,\u201d Blanck wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much as Nisman himself experienced when he began investigating the accusations that President Kirchner had engaged in a cover-up of Iran and its Hezbollah proxy\u2019s responsibility for the AMIA bombing, Taiano has also received threats and warnings not to pursue his inquiries. One text message he received in December last year told him to \u201cstop f__g about with that son of a b__ Jew,\u201d a reference to Nisman, and added, \u201cyour days are numbered.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The complaint Nisman had been due to announce would have implicated Kirchner, former Foreign Minister Hector Timerman and other officials in negotiating a secret pact with the Iranians to absolve Tehran of the AMIA bombing. Nisman\u2019s tenacious investigation \u2014 including a log of more than 4,000 monitored phone calls \u2014 strongly suggested that in doing so, Kirchner and her colleagues were trying to cover their tracks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Relatives of the AMIA victims have reacted positively to the news of the Gendarmeria report. \u201cWe are getting closer and closer to find out what happened,\u201d Luis Czyzewski, whose daughter, Paola, died in the bombing, said. The next step, Czyzewski told La Nacion, was to discover \u201cwhat happened in the legal system and know the names of those responsible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

MacDonagh cautioned that numerous \u201clegal roadblocks\u201d could still be placed in front of the Nisman investigation. Kirchner\u2019s supporters would seek to have the report \u201cannulled,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Ercolini refuses, they will appeal in every judicial forum available to them, which will drag out the whole process,\u201d MacDonagh noted.<\/span><\/p>\n
