BuenosAiresHerald.com journalist Damián Pachter, who left Argentina on Saturday morning after claiming he feared for his life, confirmed yesterday that he has arrived in Tel Aviv, Israel after flying from Buenos Aires.

“Argentina has become a dark place led by a corrupt political system. I still haven’t figured out everything that has happened to me over the past 48 hours. I never imagined my return to Israel would be like this.”

Considering media reports, the Herald’s parent company Grupo Ámbito expressed concern about the situation and said it was looking forward to speaking to Pachter and assisting him in any way necessary.

Pachter is a staff member of the digital content side of the Buenos Aires Herald, which is under the leadership of the Digital Content Editor of the Ámbito Group — that also includes Ámbito.com.

However, neither the Digital Content Editor of the Ámbito Group, Pablo Jiménez, nor the Editor-in-Chief of the print edition of the Herald, Sebastián Lacunza, were aware of the threats against Pachter.

1. Yeah, there is something absolutely rotten going on in Buenos Aires

I'm surprised more people haven't been paying attention to Alberto Nisman's death...

2. Who do you pronounce Pachter? MOSSAD.

There's been a concerted effort by right-wing media in both Argentina and the U.S., as well as from the Likudniks currently in power in Israel, to pin Nisman's death on the Fernández de Kirchner administration. This pathetic attempt at self-victimization is just another pot shot in that direction.

Pachter never reported feeling under any kind of threat to his employer, the Buenos Aires Herald (telling them instead he had the flu when he failed to show up for work on Thursday).
