Nisman money laundering case reaches Cassation (Appeals) Court in Argentina.
The country’s highest criminal court, the First Division of the Federal Cassation Court in Buenos Aires, will soon begin the process of determining if a key piece of evidence can be considered admissible in the money laundering investigation against the late AMIA special prosecutor Alberto Nisman’s mother, Sara Garfunkel, and Diego Lagomarsino — the IT expert and confidant who lent Nisman the gun that killed him on January 18, 2015.
Lawyers representing Claudio Picón, who has also been charged in connection with the case, had requested that the courts dismiss a report by the FATF (the U.S. money laundering abatement bureau) that linked Picón to a Merrill Lynch bank account in the U.S. containing $666,000 and registered in the name of Nisman, his mother, sister, and Lagomarsino. The motion was filed on the grounds that it contains classified information and “cannot be considered proof or evidence and thus cannot be included in any court proceedings.”
The Picón lawyers' request to dismiss the FATF money laundering report has been rejected by lower courts.

The "classified" information Picón's lawyers mentioned almost certainly refers to the fact that Picón is linked to the CIA through one of his partners in his firm, Palermopack.
Picón owned, through Palermopack, Nisman's Audi Q5 crossover and paid Nisman at least $200,000 (as proven by a Bank of America check for that amount found in Nisman's safe) for unspecified services - that is, a bribe; but on whose behalf?

I read something about Sara Garfunkle a little after Nisman's death, but I've forgotten. She is a completely odd person.

How could this entanglement of their names EVER be easily explained? I don't think it can.
Thank you, forest444.
The only thing worse than the metaphorical devils, are the ones "turning man against his brother" in real life - including the late Mr. Nisman's real boss (the nasty little devil at right):
