‘I’m Sure It Wasn’t Cristina’: Argentine Presidential Election Frontrunner Makes Bold Claim Over Murder of AMIA Prosecutor Alberto Nisman

Alberto Fernandez, the current frontrunner in Argentina’s upcoming presidential election, has defended his vice presidential nominee — former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner — from the suggestion that she was involved in the murder of federal prosecutor Alberto Nisman in 2015.

Speaking at a public forum in Buenos Aires last Thursday, Fernandez exclaimed, “Cristina was the one most affected by Nisman’s murder.” Several local media outlets covering the event noted that Fernandez rapidly corrected himself after using the word “murder” in relation to Nisman, substituting the words “that death” instead.

Nisman’s body was discovered in the early morning of Jan. 19, 2015 — hours before he was due to unveil a complaint against Kirchner’s government for reaching a pact with Iran despite the ongoing investigation, which he was leading, into the July 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires. Eighty-five people were murdered and more than 300 wounded in an attack conceived and executed by Iran in collaboration with its Hezbollah terrorist proxy.

Kirchner’s government falsely maintained that Nisman’s assassination was a suicide until an independent police investigation in May 2017 established beyond doubt that the federal prosecutor had been murdered. More recent efforts within Argentina to bring Kirchner — who has served as a senator since losing the 2015 presidential election — to trial over both the AMIA case and Nisman’s murder have come to nothing.

1. "independent police investigation in May 2017 established beyond doubt" - isn't true AT ALL

That was Macri's Gendarmerie - who concocted the claim two full years after the fact on Macri's orders, and three months before a mid-term election.

But 13 of 14 forensic investigations performed within days of Nisman's death all concurred: he had committed suicide.

Only one dissented: the private one commissioned by his (estranged) widow, Sandra Arroyo - who, while separated for years from the philandering (and bisexual) Nisman, was still technically married to him and thus stood to gain from a large life insurance policy.

Life insurance, as you know, can't pay out in cases of suicide.

The insurer ultimately found against paying out on Nisman's policy. The reason? Suicide.

As for Nisman, there wasn't a soul in the world (other than, perhaps, immediately family) who particularly wanted him alive that next day (Monday, January 19, 2015).

Certainly not members of the three AMIA bombing victims rights groups, who all agree that Nisman basically spent a decade sitting on the case - and living high on the hog at taxpayer expense in the meantime.

There was only one person who looked forward to seeing him around that day: Cristina Kirchner.

That day, you see, he was scheduled to appear before Congress - where he knew he would get a good dressing-down after having been shown up to be a liar by INTERPOL.

He had been caught flat-out lying in his claim that Kirchner "had asked Interpol to lift Red Notices" against the Iranian officials implicated in the attacks.

The very opposite had happened, and Nisman had to appear before Congress to be both questioned and reprimanded for lying - all the more, about something so important.

He knew that: a) he would be fired the next day and that b) his handling of 3.5 million-dollar office budget would be probed. Indeed, he was shortly afterward found to have $666,000 in an undeclared U.S. account (shared w/ his reputed lover, Diego Lagomarsino).

All this, of course, leaves the question of why Nisman went to such lengths to cover up the AMIA case - and why he was so adamant against any new lines of inquiry (given that he never followed any himself). That Is really the question.

2. And suddenly, the dawn! Good grief. I can see now why what you've written fills so many blank spots

which didn't seem to add up right, and why the accounts in the media were so lame! It all fits perfectly with the missing pieces returned to the picture.

So little was actually revealed in English language news accounts, which left so many critical areas completely unaddressed.

I recall the oddness of trying to find out more and discovering his mother and sister were very active after his death, too, insisting he had not done himself at all. They also claimed his friend had loaned him his gun just before the event. I feel sure I read at some point the mother and sister left the country.

I'm pretty sure if you read the English language versions of the event you noticed that they were insinuating very strongly that Christina was going to get hammered but good when Nisman would appear in court to reveal his story.

Of course the spin was ALWAYS 100% against ALL the leftist Presidents from the moment Hugo Chavez was elected. Every one was the target of everything the corporate media could hurl at him/her. The ones who attempted to be conciliatory, somewhat, were treated with more respect, like Michelle Bachelet and Lula da Silva, but Lula was, himself the object of a lot of slander, anyway. (You recall they tried like crazy to hang a chronic alcoholism sign on him for quite a while, but they eventually had to give it up as no one was buying it.)

I'm so glad to have read your well written post concerning Nisman. So many problem areas in the narrative were finally addressed, I can see now the answer is enormously clear. There was NO place he would be able to hide, either, considering Interpol was intimately involved already.

The photos of him, as noticed long ago, his facial expressions, all revealed him to be a notorious a-hole, cocky, overbearing, deeply selfish, cruel, etc. prime, grade A a-hole.







Remembering all these signs brandished in demonstrations:







Wife was very visible, of course





Who could forget his mother, Sarah Garfunkel?

Thank you for this vital information. I am very much assured I have no ongoing curiosity now about this matter. Terrific to be done with it, and to be so glad I didn't buy what corporate media was trying to shove down everyone's throat.
