Nisman case prosecutor implicates the owner of the murder/suicide weapon, Diego Lagomarsino. [View all]

District Attorney Ricardo Sáenz, chief prosecutor on the case of the death of the controversial AMIA Bombing prosecutor Alberto Nisman, declared that Diego Lagomarsino, the Nisman computer technician and confidant whose gun was used to fire the fatal shot, should be declared a suspect in the case.

Sáenz, who replaced the initial prosecutor, Viviana Fein, in December, recategorized the wrongful death case as a murder investigation on February 25.

Speaking to Continental Radio, Sáenz stressed that doing so would be "the only way to put the case in order." Sáenz first brooked the possibility of officially naming Lagomarsino a suspect the day he declared the case as a murder investigation on February 25. For Sáenz, Lagomarsino should be investigated for murder and not solely for providing Nisman with the weapon that fired the fatal shot. "Lagomarsino has to be investigated in regards to all aspects of the case, even the death itself," he said, "but that's the judge's decision."

He was also "surprised" by Judge Fabiana Palmaghini's sudden decision to decide she has no jurisdiction over the case after having overseen it since days after Nisman's death on January 18, 2015. Palmaghini, a Criminal Court Judge, is transferring the case to a Federal Court - a controversial decision in itself since most Federal Court judges in Buenos Aires are known to be close to President Mauricio Macri.

Referring to yesterday's deposition of former State Intelligence operative Antonio "Jaime" Stiusso, Sáenz dismissed his "attempt to cast aspersions against the previous administration while himself knowing there is nothing in his own, very brief affidavit to indicate it." Stiusso, who worked closely with Nisman and persuaded him to dismiss his security detail shortly before his death, was fired by former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner one month before Nisman's death.

Sáenz believes that both Fein and Palmaghini "have been promoting a fiction by which Lagomarsino is only charged with the delivery of the weapon." Doing so, he pointed out, allowed the computer technician to "participate in all aspects of the investigation" even as a potential suspect. Lagomarsino, said Sáenz, could then use the information to "appeal any court findings as to the mode of death, be it murder or a suicide."
