Politics, Espionage, and Unanswered Questions in Argentina’s Nisman Mystery One Year Later

!!!

A year after the mysterious death of Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman there are still more questions than answers.  Found dead in his apartment with a gunshot wound to the head, just days after filing a criminal complaint against former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, his death thoroughly shocked Argentina’s political world.  Not only are there still questions about the viability of his investigation into the country’s worst-ever terrorist attack, but there is also still no consensus on whether his death was a murder or a suicide.  The case, still very much on peoples’ minds throughout the region, involves questions of political opportunism and unexplained ties to the world of spies.
