Former Argentine spymaster Antonio “Jaime” Stiuso accuses the government of former president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner of being responsible for the murder of Alberto Nisman.
Stiuso, the former operations chief of the Intelligence Secretariat, or SI, the country’s spy agency, testified for more than 15 hours yesterday in connection with the death of Nisman, the AMIA Jewish Center bombing special prosecutor. Stiuso had assisted Nisman in the investigation into the 1994 bombing of the Jewish center in Buenos Aires, which left 85 dead and hundreds wounded.
Nisman was found shot and killed in the bathroom of his apartment on January 18, 2015, hours before he was to present evidence to Argentine lawmakers that Kirchner covered up Iran’s role in the 1994 attack.

Argentinean media reports that Stiuso said that the late AMIA prosecutor’s death “was intimately linked with the complaint that he made.”
