Overview
- Nisman, the AMIA special prosecutor, was found dead in his Puerto Madero apartment on Jan. 18, 2015, with a gunshot wound; the pistol was traced to IT aide Diego Lagomarsino.
- Investigators moved from an early suicide theory to a homicide framing after a transfer to federal court and a Gendarmería forensic report concluding he was killed.
- The file remains in instruction with five people processed: Lagomarsino as an alleged necessary participant and four bodyguards for aggravated cover-up and breach of duty.
- He had planned to brief Congress on his complaint over the 2013 Argentina–Iran memorandum the day after his death, underscoring the case’s political reverberations.
- Marking the 11th anniversary, DAIA renewed its call for truth and justice and referred to the death as an assassination in a public statement.
