Judge Arroyo Salgado Calls Nisman’s Death an Assassination, Cites Intelligence and Río Turbio Links

Her claim revives a long-running case that still has only one person charged.

Overview

  • Sandra Arroyo Salgado, a federal judge and Alberto Nisman’s ex-wife, said at a Buenos Aires event that justice has shown the prosecutor was killed and she pointed to state intelligence operatives and a company tied to Río Turbio.
  • She referenced versions that describe operational ties between intelligence figures working in Río Turbio–linked firms and connections to current national officials.
  • La Gaceta and Los Andes report that investigators focus on suspected spy activity near the Le Parc towers in Puerto Madero during the weekend Nisman died in 2015.
  • Only IT technician Diego Lagomarsino remains charged in the case, which runs in a special unit coordinated by prosecutor’s aide Hernán Kleiman, and prosecutors say phone records show his call reached Nisman first.
  • Arroyo Salgado said it will be hard to identify the masterminds and she criticized outdated courts, entrenched corruption, and the Council of the Magistracy, signaling pressure for institutional reform.
