Buenos Aires.- The Argentine Chief of Staff, Jorge Capitanich, today tore up two pages of the Clarín newspaper in a press conference following denouncing a “political confrontation” by “opposition media.”
Capitanich tore up the pages in which Clarín reported, on Sunday, the alleged existence of a draft of the complaint by prosecutor Alberto Nisman in which he requested the arrest of Cristina Fernández for alleged cover-up of Iranian defendants in the attack once morest the Jewish mutual fund AMIA.
According to Clarín, the draft of the complaint, with numerous crossed out lines, would have been found in the garbage can of the prosecutor’s house following his death, from a gunshot to the head, on January 18, and incorporated into the file of the cause.
Clarín’s information was denied hours later by the judge in the case, Ariel Lijo, who clarified that the deletions were made by the court itself and that Nisman’s complaint does not contain “any substantial request regarding the alleged defendants.”
After tearing up the newspaper, the Chief of Staff denounced that there is “a political confrontation concocted by the opposition media” and warned that in 2015 “this is going to be like this, it is going to be a very active dynamic in this electoral year.”
Alberto Nisman died in still unclear circumstances the day before he appeared in Congress to detail his complaint once morest the Argentine president and several of her collaborators.
According to Nisman, the complaint is based on evidence gathered through wiretaps regarding the Argentine Government’s maneuvers to “free the Iranian defendants from all suspicion” and “fabricate Iran’s innocence” in the attack once morest the AMIA in 1994, which caused 85 dead.
