President Alberto Fernández said on Thursday that he was

"convinced" that the death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman was "a suicide,"

in a departure from the opinions he himself had given when he was an opponent of the current vice Cristina Kirchner.

"In the Nisman case, I am convinced that it was a suicide;

after doubting it a lot, uh, I am not going to lie

, after doubting it a lot," said the president during a long interview with

radio 10

.

Less than a month after the six-year anniversary of the death of the prosecutor in the AMIA case, the head of state explained that "as Justice changes according to the political moment, there comes a time when one does not know who to believe ".

Last January, Fernández had appeared talking about the subject in

The Prosecutor, the President and the Spy,

the Netflix documentary that investigated the death of Nisman.

Throughout the 6 episodes, the President recalled his link with the prosecutor and the talk he had after he presented the complaint against CFK for the Pact with Iran.

Alberto Fernández talks about Alberto Nisman in the documentary about the death of the prosecutor.

The strongest fragment occurred in episode 4, when Fernández spoke about what could have happened to Nisman, who was found dead in his Puerto Madero apartment on January 18, 2015:

"To this day, I doubt that has committed suicide, "he

says.

According to official sources, the interview was not recent, but was recorded in 2017, when the president was still away from Cristina Kirchner.

After the premiere of the documentary, Alberto had updated his position by clarifying that

"the accumulated evidence does not give rise to thinking that there was a murder

.

"

In 2015, weeks after the fact and when he was an opponent of CFK, Fernández had participated in a march that brought together some of Comodoro Py's most representative prosecutors to demand the clarification of the case.
