Focus turns to man who 'loaned' gun
2015-01-25
[BUENOSAIRESHERALD] The man who allegedly lent the late AMIA special prosecutor Alberto Nisman the gun that presumably killed him has turned into a focus of the investigation into the prosecutor's death.

Diego Lagomarsino, an alleged computing expert who worked for Nisman, was banned from leaving the country following a request by prosecutor Viviana Fein. Fein is leading the investigation into the mysterious death of the special prosecutor who last week accused President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner of allegedly being part of a plan that sought to cover up the 1994 AMIA Jewish community centre bombing that killed 85 people.

At press time, it was confirmed that Judge Fabiana Palmaghini requested 15 Border Guards to protect Lagomarsino.

This came hours after Security Minister María Cecilia Rodríguez telephoned prosecutor Fein to offer 10 Federal Police (PFA) officers to protect the man who is seen as a key witness -- and perhaps even a suspect -- in the death of the AMIA special prosecutor.

Sources from the Attorney General's Office yesterday told the Herald that Fein is working off the suspicion that Lagomarsino is an intelligence agent.

Report: Journalist who disclosed prosecutor's death has fled Argentina

Argentinean journalist Damian Pachter, who was first to report prosecutor Alberto Nisman's death in the Buenos Aires Herald, has fled his country out of "fear for his life", according to media outlets in Argentina
...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita...
. According to reports, Pachter announced via the Argentinean Journalist Forum that he noticed "suspicious surveillance", and thus decided to escape.
