Judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado, the ex wife of late Alberto Nisman and a plaintiff in the probe into his death, said that the prosecutor “was without a doubt a murder victim,” according to the results of the forensic tests conducted by the plaintiff, seeking only the truth «behind a crime of such magnitude.»
“Violent death only has three hypothesis: accident, suicide and homicide,” Salgado explained.
“The report we present today bluntly dismisses the first two hypothesis, that is, suicide and accident. We can only conclude that Nisman was, without a doubt, a murderer victim (…) We only sought the objective, scientifically verifiable truth.”
Some final «thoughts»
After briefing reporters on the conclusions of the report, Arroyo Salgado also said relatives of Alberto Nisman who were present at the scene the day he was found dead were not informed about the right they had to take part in the autopsy, something the judge considered “would have cooperated and enriched” the process.
She further explained that the family and friends of the late prosecutor decided to conduct the report without carrying out a second autopsy following the “opinion” of experts who “convinced them” to move on with the report despite a “resignation” feeling they experienced knowing their right to take part in the post mortem examination had been violated.
Saying the report was at “the disposal of the prosecutor and judge” in charge of the investigation into Alberto Nisman’s death, Arroyo Salgado affirmed that “the lack of participation of (the plaintiff’s) experts led to partial and confusing conclusions that were functional to the murderer or murderers” of Alberto Nisman.
“Alberto Natalio Nisman did not suffer an accident, did not commit suicide. Nisman was killed, it is an assassination of unknown proportions that deserves an answer from the authorities of the Republic,” the victim’s ex wife finally concluded calling also for “respect, prudence and professional ethics” in addressing the case.
The plaintiff’s team is composed by forensic expert Osvaldo Raffo, a forensic pathologist, and Daniel Salcedo, who led the Buenos Aires province police from 2007 to 2009.
