Former prosecutor Viviana Fein described the investigation into Alberto Nisman’s death as a 'failure' and asserted she will not take responsibility for alleged irregularities.
Viviana Fein, the former prosecutor in charge of the investigation into the death of Alberto Nisman, stated during her recent declaration that she considers the probe a 'failure,' particularly criticizing the hypothesis suggesting it was a homicide as having 'serious flaws.' This statement came as she defended herself against accusations of neglecting critical aspects of the investigation, including securing the crime scene where Nisman was found dead on January 18, 2015.
Fein, who was the initial prosecutor in the case before it was handed over to federal justice, appeared for questioning and presented a written defense. In her document, she firmly denied any wrongdoing or interference with the investigation process. Despite being retired since April 2016, her comments indicate a deep concern about the ongoing scrutiny over her handling of this high-profile case, which continues to attract significant media attention and public interest in Argentina.
The case of Nisman remains a controversial topic in Argentina, with various theories about his death sparking widespread debate. Fein's revelations and her refusal to acknowledge any missteps may fuel further discussion about the efficacy and accountability within the Argentine judicial system, particularly regarding high-stakes investigations that carry immense political and social implications.
