Apr 14th, 2015 - 02:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And there we have it people. An argie government thing trying to impede true justice. What does Fernandez know about the law? Supposedly he has a law degree. From the same establishment that said he was an accountant? A fugitive from justice in 1994. And now he keeps changing 'jobs'.
They still have not released the security camera videos of Nisman's apartment building, nor of the 26 cameras in the apartment building area.

Apr 14th, 2015 - 03:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Smoke and mirrors seems the only thing Argentina is good at. As it Nismans death appears to be political why does Argentina not ask a neutral country to investigate his murder/suicide , makes sense to me.

The security cameras would be very helpful, yet the Argentine authorities ignore doing an investigation.
It's indeed frustrating the slow pace of the investigation on Alberto Nisman's death.
Apr 14th, 2015 - 07:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's got to be said that Sandra Arroyo Salgado, Nisman's ex-wife, has emerged as a mayor obstacle to such investigation.
As complainant, Arroyo Salgado requested and obtained that the forensic analysis of Nisman and Lagomarsino's phones and computers be stopped about a month ago. After such a delay, it appears the analysis will be finally performed next week.
She also requested that Judge Palmaghini be in charge of the investigation instead of Prosecutor Viviana Fein (the judge denied this request).
Arroyo Salgado also requested a search of Lagomarsino's home, a month after Nisman's death.
She also requested that a conference of intervening doctors be declared null and void (this was rejected).
Arroyo also objected to the naming of an expert, Enrique Prueger (granted).
Arroyo has also requested to declare null and void a criminology study analyzing the dynamics in the crime scene (judge decision on this is pending).
Prosecutor Fein has publicly expressed frustration by the numerous obstacles slowing down the investigation placed by Arroyo Salgado.

Apr 14th, 2015 - 10:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Define complainant for us, and what has a divorced wife have to do with anything?
So the Argentinean legal system lets an ex-wife do all this things!
Apr 14th, 2015 - 10:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That just reflects badly on the Argentinean legal system.
Which is what the article was all about.
The court system in Argentina is a joke. It is used by the Prez as a bludgeon or a pass depending on what she thinks is the law,
Apr 14th, 2015 - 11:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There's cases there that have been active for 20+ yrs.
Silly creatures its all a facade of separation of powers.
Oh Anglos complaining about the courts.
Apr 15th, 2015 - 02:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0In a culture where justice is only for the highest bidder (Common Law), that's a bit rich.
The more I learn about Argentine Government attitudes to justice and probity, the more I like cockroaches.
Apr 15th, 2015 - 09:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes there has been quite a decrease in the independence of the judicial system under kirchnerism.
Apr 15th, 2015 - 11:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0I always find it funny that courts can be disloyal to a government or countru when they do their job right.
@8 In your country the system is not a joke, is a sad story.
Apr 15th, 2015 - 08:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Shooting citizen on the back is not a joke.
Making wars for nothing is not a joke.
Having bases all over the world is not a joke.
Spying on there own citizens is not a joke.
I could go for ever if you like. USA is a cynical circus.
How you even dear to criticize Argentina
12 dirt bag I was going to comment on what a joke your post was. How shooting someone in the back of the head is not a joke, how invading a peaceful country is not a joke, how robbing from your own people is not a joke. How lying about everything and every statistic is not a joke, but I won't bother. If you are in fact that stupid to compare the US with a shit hole like Arg you wouldn't understand. Your country sinks lower daily, (all time low for the peso) and you are to much of a coward to do anything but hope it will be better with a new goverment. I use to feel very different towards argentina but realize now they are just a bunch of deadbeats and liars. Best of luck with that..
