Argentine President Mauricio Macri said he suspects that late prosecutor Alberto Nisman — who died mysteriously in 2015 when he was about to testify about former president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner’s alleged efforts to cover up Iran’s ties to a 1994 terrorist bombing of a Jewish community center in Argentina — was murdered, and did not commit suicide as originally reported.
Macri said in an interview with the Miami Herald and CNN en Español — to be aired in two parts starting Sunday — that “it’s hard to believe that Nisman committed suicide. There are too many situations, indications, realities of those hours, those days, that don’t match with a suicide.»
Nisman’s body was found drenched in blood at his apartment on Jan. 18, 2015, a day before he was to testify in Congress about his investigation concluding that former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner had signed a deal with Iran aimed at covering up Iran’s ties to the attack against the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. Nisman’s death was initially labeled as a probable suicide.
Asked whether he has inside information from intelligence agencies to suspect that Nisman was killed, Macri said that he reached that conclusion «by using common sense. I add, analyze, see, evaluate how the prosecutor acted, what it is that he was doing, and then I say, «This [a suicide] doesn’t make sense.»
