There are more than 24,000 pages in the entire file, more than twenty measurements, boxes with more than 1,500 evidence items.
All of this constitutes the Nisman Case, the investigation into the violent death of the former head of the UFI AMIA carried out by federal justice and that on December 26, 2017 it concluded
that there was a “criminal plan”
whose objective was to end the life of Alberto Nisman.
It was a homicide for Judge Julián Ercolini and for Prosecutor Eduardo Taiano, and thus endorsed
the expertise of the Gendarmerie that Kirchnerism questions.
Within the framework of the case, a technological expertise was concluded on 200 computer equipment seized mostly from the home of Diego Lagomarsino (the assistant prosecutor tried as a necessary participant in the crime), Luis Muiño and Rubén Benitez (cover-ups).
But the investigators cannot analyze that evidence, since
the defense of the computer technician took his claim - a year ago - before the Supreme Court.
Cell phones, external drives, pendrives, a playstation, computers
, are just some of the elements that were appraised by the Cybercrime area of the National Gendarmerie.
The work took 24 months, and had the intervention of expert witnesses.
The prosecutor Eduardo Taiano set them three days of work a week, and of each meeting during those two years
there is a record drawn up
that is among the thousands of pages of the case.
That expertise entered the prosecution service a year ago.
They are thousands of pages, extensive and loaded with data.
Each device, connected to a specific program, was read and downloaded of everything they contained.
But it
is information that requires cross-linking and careful analysis
, and researchers have not been able to do that task for twelve months.
Judge Ercolini prosecuted Diego Lagomarsino as a necessary participant in the crime and pointed him out as the last one to see the former prosecutor alive and who
handed him the killing weapon with "full knowledge of what would happen."
According to the processing,
it provided "assistance or cooperation" without which the crime under investigation could not have been committed.
Now
his possible links with the intelligence services are being investigated and if he responded to them himself.
During the last raid carried out at the home of the computer technician, as well as of the former custodians of Nisman, a significant number of computers were seized, which were the ones that were subjected to an expert opinion.
When the measure was concluded, Lagomarsino's lawyers -
Maximiliano Rusconi
(also a defender of Julio De Vido) and his partner Gabriel Palmeiro-, argued that
opening said expertise would imply violating the privacy
of his client's
private information
.
Judge Ercolini rejected the claim, stating that the prosecution had full power to advance in the treatment of that expertise.
The defense appealed that resolution, but
the Buenos Aires Federal Chamber endorsed what was resolved by the magistrate
.
But the lawyers insisted before the next claim instance, and
received another setback there: the Cassation Chamber agreed with Ercolini and the prosecutor Taiano.
Even with
the intervention of these seven judges of three instances
, the defenders went with the proposal to the highest instance: the Supreme Court of Justice.
That is where the resource was found a year ago.
H
horn that there is
no statement to the connection, the prosecution is prevented from advancing
in the analysis of the expertise sued 24 months and conclude that was delivered in late 2019.
What could that evidence provide to the case?
According to judicial sources, it can contribute images, videos, conversations pertinent to the investigation, interlocking of telephone calls, documentation that may be stored in the devices.
None of this can be studied, the final word is held by the highest court.
The researchers also do not rule out that in all those devices that were opened and tested with a system used internationally for these works, evidence could also be saved that would reverse the situation of the three defendants.
Because of the resistance of the lawyers, it seems difficult.
On the other hand, the prosecution has already
finished taking 500 testimonial statements from all the residents of the Le Parc complex.
All were conclusive in the same sense: The place "was not insurmountable."
There were many points that the security cameras did not register, and about eight cameras were not in operation that January 2015. On the other hand, the neighbors themselves exposed having been victims of various acts of insecurity without anyone noticing what happened .
"It is not an airport or NASA, it is a place where people could enter without being seen," said one of the neighbors when declaring.
This measure is accompanied by a bank of 54,000 images of people and vehicle licenses that entered and left Le Parc that weekend.
It is a file to check any suspicions that may arise about strange movements in that period.
Ahead is to conclude a set of testimonials to personnel of the security company of the place, as well as
the response to the warrant sent to Israel regarding the
witness who said he had met with Nisman to deliver documents related to Cristina Kirchner.
An expertise is still being carried out on another set of telephones that are linked to the AFI, provided by the intelligence agency during the macrista administration.
In addition, the prosecution still finds
"inconsistencies in Diego Lagomarsino's explanations regarding how he met Alberto Nisman."
For this reason, Taiano will request a series of testimonial statements to unravel the beginning of that link that has its leg in the security forces.
On December 26, 2017, Judge Ercolini determined that "there was a plan that was devised to end the life of Nisman" and indicated that "they killed him with Diego Lagomarsino's weapon."
Without leaving any doubts, he wrote: "The death of prosecutor Nisman was not due to suicide and would have been produced by third parties and in a malicious manner." Six years later, the authors remain unknown and it is being investigated whether they respond to the world of services. Intelligence.
