Overview

  • Federal prosecutor Eduardo Taiano is finalizing orders to summon about 90 to 100 military intelligence personnel who served under former Army chief César Milani.
  • The subpoenas rely on newly declassified SIDE archives handed over to the courts at Taiano’s request for classified government files.
  • Prosecutors aim to use testimony from these officers to map a suspected network of intelligence operatives linked to the planned killing of Alberto Nisman.
  • A Gendarmería Nacional forensic report concluded that Nisman was immobilized with ketamine before being shot, bolstering the homicide hypothesis.
  • The inquiry, delegated by Judge Julián Ercolini, is poised to enter an expanded testimony phase before any potential indictments.
