Netflix series puts death of Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman back in the spotlight

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Almost five years later, the death of Alberto Nisman, the prosecutor who led the investigation into Argentina’s deadliest terrorist attack, still perplexes and fascinates many in this South American country.

Much as they did on Jan. 18, 2015, when the prosecutor’s lifeless body was found in mysterious circumstances that launched a debate over whether he was murdered or took his own life, Argentines spent Jan. 1, 2020 glued to their screens, this time watching the Netflix series: “Nisman: The Prosecutor, the President and the Spy.”

Nisman had accused then-President Cristina Fernández, her Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman, a lawmaker and four others of conspiring to lift Interpol’s red alerts against a handful of prominent Iranians accused of involvement the 1994 bombing of Argentina’s AMIA Jewish center, an attack that left 85 people dead. According to the prosecutor, Fernández’s government may have negotiated impunity for the suspects with Tehran in exchange for resuming trade relations.

Argentine President Alberto Fernandez said on Thursday that he doubts that Alberto Nisman, the Jewish prosecutor who died two days after accusing former president Cristina Kirchner of a cover up in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center, committed suicide.

At the same time, he insisted "there isn't a shred of proof" that Nisman was murdered as his family insists.

Nisman was appointed special prosecutor into the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) headquarters, which left 85 dead and 300 wounded.

This of course, was an unprecedented attack on a soft target, in Argentina, Buenos Aires I believe. So, something to remember that happened and largely in a place, you would not have expected it, a Hezbollah terror attack in South America in 1994.

Could it happen again? We need to be on guard.
