Prosecutor Viviana Fein has insisted that she is not under any external pressure relating to her investigations into the death of AMIA lead prosecutor Alberto Nisman, and promised to formally report any such interferences in her work.
«I do not want my work to be manipulated by any political sector,» Fein told reporters outside her office in the centre of Buenos Aires, after referring once more to the discovery of a file in the rubbish bin of Nisman’s Puerto Madero home. The prosecutor added that she added received support from the Attorney General’s office, led by Alejandra Gils Carbó, «from the very first day.»
«In 40 years I have never suffered from outside pressure exercised on my working life. I am not suffering from that now, I am not scared, I want that made quite clear,» Fein underlined, defining herself as an «independent person».
«The day that I suffer any type of pressure, I will be the first person to report it.»
The prosecutor added with regards to the files related to Nisman’s accusations against President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner that the information contained will not have a great impact on the case.
«It does not have the potential to change the course of the investigation right now. It does not add, nor take away anything from the investigation,» she said.
