Alberto Nisman, who investigated Argentinas worst terrorist attack before he was found dead in his home last year, may have been forced to kill himself, a prosecutor who was formerly in charge of his case has said.
Viviana Fein, who in December was removed from the investigation into Nismans mysterious death, had said before that it was likely suicide. But in an interview with local radio station La Red, she acknowledged for the first time that it was possible he was induced to kill himself.
Fein said that Nisman had several back-and-forth calls with six or seven people, including the countrys former spy chief, Antonio Stiuso, and then-army chief Cesar Milani on 18 January 2015. The body of Nisman, who led the probe of the 1994 AMIA Jewish center bombing in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people, was discovered on that day in his apartment with a gunshot wound to the head.
I find it suggestive and noteworthy that personalities of this calibre were on the same day of his death talking uninterruptedly, Fein said.
