Prosecutor investigating the death of Alberto Nisman, Viviana Fein, said that she “cannot attest” to what happened in the late prosecutor’s apartment in the three hours between the moment that the body was found until she arrived.
“We were notified at 12.15 at night, when we arrived at the scene and went up (to the apartment) it was 1.20,” the prosecutor explained. She pointed out that since the locksmith entered the apartment with Nisman’s mother at 22.30, “no one can guarantee that the scene was preserved in those three hours,” she stated.
“There was the mother, a friend, bodyguards, prefecture officers. According to the testimonies of the Prefecture officers who guarded the place, the mother stayed in her son’s bedroom accompanied by a friend, but no one can attest what happened between 22.30 and 1.20,” Fein said.
She referred to the ongoing investigation. “I do not think it has been such a long time,” she said in response to criticism. “It has been a month and days since the investigation started, there has been holidays in the middle, and there are technical means of evidence for next week which are the most important: from the telephones, the computers (…) It would be a miracle to have an answer a month and a few days after and incident like this.”
Fein said that she cannot say “categorically” that Nisman committed suicide. “It would be premature to state anything,” she explained.
