The game of interests surrounding the investigation of Argentine special prosecutor Alberto Nisman death escalated on Tuesday when police raided the home of the deceased's mother, and cabinet chief Anibal Fernández accused Nisman's former wife of putting 'obstacles' into the probe and suggesting insurance claims could be involved in her actions.

    More disgusting, dispicable behaviour from the K-gang.

    I think they are frightened of what ever truth is out there.

    Agreed! As I mentioned earlier, they still have not released the security camera videos of Nisman's apartment building, nor from the 26 cameras in the apartment building area.

    I don't claim to know the truth, but the government seems to be in a great hurry to rush this through, whilst smearing Nisman, his family and his ex-colleagues.

    Their actions post Nismans death are nothing short of disgraceful. This Anibal Fernandez character seems to be the lowest of the low.

    This government refuses to accept the 'separation of powers' being essential to a fully functioning democracy.
    They consider the judiciary as tool to rubber - stamp anything the wish, to 'legitimatise' their whims and hide their crimes.

    Remember when Cristina demanded that Obama “control 'his' judges ”?
    And the rest of the western world laughed at her in disbelief?
    I do.

    However, it seems no laughing matter at home.

    Proof, if proof were needed of the real identity of 'Breakdowns R Us' 'man': he's an argie through and through.

    How can any reasonable person defend these cretins hell bent to hide their unlawful actions? Picking on the victim's mother has to be a low point even for them.

    First they tried to smear the dead prosecutor with allegations of a homosexual relationship.
    No-one cared.
    Then his mental health was questioned repeatedly.
    This was ignored as being stupid.
    Then they said he was a raving playboy, enjoying nights in nightclubs. taking drugs with escort girls. So not a homosexual but a libertine...
    Again no-one cared.

    They have accused him of being in pay of the US, influenced by Mossad and under the control of the ex Head of the Secret Police.

    None of this mud is sticking, so they are going after his mother and his ex-wife.

    Disgusting. No wonder the average citizen finds this acceptable if this is the example their leaders set for them.

    How can the Argentine public allow their government to still have not released the security camera videos of Nisman's apartment building, nor of the other 26 cameras in the apartment building area?

    You are quite correct. This seems to have been 'forgotten' in Argentina, another 'convenient win' by the K-gang.
    They continue to smear, obscuficate and lie. Whatever the domestic audience swallows, the world is still watching....
    I have met many young Argentines in London, who refuse to discuss domestic politics, because, “ It makes me sick, I want to forget it, I have my life in London now! I want to work here! Not that place! Can we talk about something else please? ”

    Oh Do Fuck Off Dear, absolutely nothing to do with the article. Why don't you complain about the other 189 countries in the World? Your distraction is as irrelevant as you are.
    No doubt you will be hugely pleased that I responded to your post. Simple pleasures for simple people, no doubt.
    Now sod off back to your mental health clinic.

    I'm not the one complaining here, I just pointer out that the methods described here of governments hiding information from the public, with the purpose of hiding a possible crime, very much applies to USA and the UK. Remember David Kelly?
    Illegal prisoner transportations across Europe?

    So, as you lot obviously don't disagree with the methods, I fail to see the point in your criticism...

    “I fail to see”
    is the only relevant point in your post. So what if other govt.s are not perfect? The article is about Argentina. You fail to see that.
    Just because another govt is not perfect, it does not improve the standing of Argentina.
    The topic is the failure of the Argentinian Govt. to, well, actually govern, without bullying the judiciary.
    You fail, because you can not see outside of your La Campora box.

    Now what part of “Oh Do Fuck Off Dear”, do you not understand?
    You became an irrelevance many months ago.

    Oh, your point being that there is a possibility that Argentina is at least as corrupt as the UK.

    Now it makes sende.

    Yes, I agree. There is.

    As for your other matter, I had hoped you would get the hint.... Dear.

    Let's pause for a moment to congratulate two of our most esteemed and intellectual posters here, Stevie and Paulcedron have completed a 16 week correspondence course to work as assistant trainee bed pan
    cleaners, to which Paulcedron has already secured a position at the Northumbrian home for the criminally insane. Let's all give our best wishes to Stevie on his job search and Paulcedron for their vocational success.

    Best of luck boys!

    The troubled adolescent here is suffering from delusions of grandeur as he still has not been able to secure a work position after what must have been very mentally challenging 16 week study.

    Regarding corruption scales, there's actually an international ranking that places countries like Denmark, the UK, Sweden, Chile... in the lowest levels and countries like Zimbabwe, North Korea, Somalia and Argentina on the other side of the spectrum...

    MrcoPress, I sincerely hope innocently, is aiding and abetting the K's with the publishing of this article.

    The person who told the Judge of finding the pistol was.... Mrs. Nisman, Alberto's mother, and not during the taking of her statement but in a letter sent to the Judge personally.

    The “raid” in question was a visit from the Metropolitan Police which lasted 2 hours and was taken up trying to find Nisman's second gun, which was not found.

    Surprisingly the K's haven't yet attacked Nisman's daughters, but I'm sure Anibal the Cannibal will soon find time to accuse them of something vile.

    On another thread, a poster named Andy has blamed all us Argentines for the government that we have. Please Andy, remember that the famous 54% who apparently voted for CFK in 2011 were really only 36% the other 64% voted against her or, for lack of a sensible alternative, did not vote for anyone. So let's not throw out generalizations without researching a little bit!!!!!!

    Absolutely true, I was the one who constructed the figures from the actual voting records, not believing the crap from the K's.

    Mercopress prints a misleading headline and story:
    “Nisman mother's home raided by police.”
    Predictably, such a headline and story unleashes the wrath of the industrious Mercopress posters, who need no further proof to lampoon the Argentine government.
    They get all excited about how the said government is harassing Nisman's family.
    “...they are going after his mother and his ex-wife,” exclaims Ilsen in #12.
    “Picking on the victim's mother has to be a low point even for them,” echoes ChrisR at #10.
    Unfortunately, they lost sight of the fact that the search was ordered by a judge and not by evildoer CFK.
    Furthermore, Mercopress omitted to point out that the said search in Sara Garfunkel's home was done ONLY after Nisman's mother herself requested the police to sequester the weapon.
    But I guess the story was preaching to the converted.

    It appears that you are gainfully employed by Crissy's Ministry of Truth. Good for you! at least someone in your country is working hard for their peanuts.

    Perhaps one of your colleagues is working on a book on the Nisman case. If it holds as much truth and facts as your last book about the magical mythical Malvinas lands I look forward to reading it. The entertainment value will be enormous.

    I know that your Ministry of Justice is hard at work making sure that all responsible parties in the Nisman case will be given ample opportunity to prove to the world that he inexplicably murdered himself with no one else involved except perhaps some misguided political enemy of the infallible glorious leader.
    Since your country's police and court system rates among the best in world for fairness and efficiency your people must sleep soundly at night, knowing that no crime in Argentina goes unpunished and the criminals always get the just punishment...

    Meanwhile, down at the Ministry of Prosperity, they are getting ready to release the latest economic numbers, showing once again that your country is on track to post yet another year of unbroken record growth in all sectors of the economy.

    The marching of thousands Argentines in the streets after Nisman's murder demanding justice is evidence that many of your countrymen are fed up with the CFK government corruption plaguing Argentina.

    Has there been any news of the security camera videos of Nisman's apartment building or from the 26 cameras in the apartment building area? In free and democratic countries there would be a release of this type of information in order for the public to assist in identifying suspicious individuals the night of the murder.

    This morning in BsAs Herald Bog Brush Anibal the Cannibal 'blasted' Nismans mother over the “fact” that she had discovered Nismans own pistol some days ago and had not reported it TGW the hint she could be charged with firearms offences.

    They are clearly shitting themselves because if Nisman wanted to top himself he would surely have used his own pistol.

    The piece has been removed already.

    In today's Bubblear: A “top Argentine author” has, under the pseudonym R. S. Pratt, and in the space of 76 days, written a 234-page detective-noir novel based on the death of Alberto Nisman. “El fiscal. Una ficción demasiado parecida a la realidad” (“The Prosecutor. A fiction too close to reality”)

    Indeed, many in Argentina believed, during the first few days after the prosecutor's death, that:
    1. Nisman had presented a solid denunciation of CFK's government cover-up of Iran.
    2. Therefore, the CFK government had sent assassins to murder the prosecutor.
    Since then, Nisman's 280-page document has been posted online and revealed for what it is: smoke and mirrors.
    When the denunciation crumbled, so did the hypothesis of a government plot to kill the prosecutor.
    That ended the opposition's dreams of a “Nismangate” that would have indeed be of big help. Democracy, however, is the winner when political parties concentrate on their proposals, which Argentine electors will ponder before going to the polls in October.
