The ex-wife of late AMIA investigator Alberto Nisman, judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado, has called for a more responsible treatment of the prosecutor's death, speaking out against those who tried to "politicise" events at an audience held today in the Senate.
Presidential secretary Aníbal Fernández has lent his support to the request of Alberto Nisman's ex-wife Sandra Arroyo Salgado, who today called for the case of the late prosecutor to be referred to the Inter-american Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).
As the investigation into the death of the AMIA special prosecutor continues, a new ocular inspection in Alberto Nisman’s apartment has been ordered, and the victim’s telephones will be analyzed.
