"Leaving the past behind is not forgetting or denying what happened."
Antonio "Jaime" Stiuso -
Jaime
for
James
;
James
for James Bond, the legendary 007 agent - left
his last message
in the courts of Comodoro Py, last week
.
It is a 13-page brief presented before federal judge Sebastián Ramos, who had notified him of his decision to
dismiss Cristina Kirchner
for the crime of illegal espionage for which Stiuso had denounced her.
Along with the former president, Senator Oscar Parrilli (former SIDE chief), Juan Martín Mena (Parrilli's former SIDE deputy and current Deputy Minister of Justice) and five other people were also dismissed.
Stiuso denounced that they set up a mechanism to persecute and spy on him after firing him from the SIDE, a few days before the prosecutor Nisman denounced Cristina and others for covering up the authors of the AMIA attack
(1994, 85 dead).
Stiuso had worked alongside Nisman on that investigation.
Nisman was found dead four days after presenting her.
Now, Ramos closed the case of Stiuso against Cristina for
"non-existence of crime"
, and then reappeared who for more than two decades was
the most feared spy in
Argentina.
Stiuso - who was SIDE's director of operations for
34 years
- returned to tell the judge that he is not going to appeal his decision, but that
does not mean forgetting.
He does not appeal because, he says, the prosecutor and the judge
"do not want to investigate
.
"
And he goes on with a story where he reveals how, in his opinion,
the investigation
was
losing strength
as
Cristina's return to power
progressed
;
and how everything was frozen after its consummation.
Ramos decreed that there was no crime, although he declared a measure by Parrilli unconstitutional that forced Stiuso to appear before him, although the agent was
no longer a civil servant.
It happened twice.
This suggested that the investigation would continue, but it
was closed.
The judge spoke of a relationship
"always conflictive"
between Stiuso and Parrilli, to which the former spy replies that this is completely false, because he
"never"
had problems with Parrilli.
A
bear hug
for Senator K.
Stiuso later tells how a judicial measure to deepen the progress of the case was rejected on June 10, 2019, when
"new political times were approaching
.
"
That day, Peronism retained power in the elections in Tucumán, Entre Ríos, and Chubut.
The next refusal to a request from Stiuso in the case was on October 16 of that year, when Alberto Fernández
had already won in the August PASO.
"The change of authorities in the Executive Branch was something palpable, which was taken for granted,"
says Stiuso.
And then he advances with another measure that stopped the cause on November 11, when
"the result of the presidential elections was already in place
.
"
At that time, Cristina Kirchner, the one accused of putting together a mechanism to persecute Stiuso after firing him,
was already elected vice president.
A month later - December 2019, with the new government in power - Parrilli made his discharge and the case was
free
until now, when the judge decided to dismiss everyone and archive it.
Stiuso says that the
lawfare
existed, but
to persecute him
, and that this dismissal of Cristina is
"a tailor-made opinion"
from the vice president.
And more.
That
"the lack of will to investigate discourages citizens who seek the protection of the State against abuses of power
.
"
Says who worked for Néstor Kirchner, supported and encouraged by the former president, at
the heart of the power of the intelligence services.
Stiuso runs from this cause saying that he does not forget, but he
knows perfectly what is coming.
Cristina is pushing for the trial for covering up the AMIA terrorists to never start.
If that obsession failed her, however,
witness number 56
awaits her on the bench
:
Jaime
Stiuso.
It is possible that there - in a trial that will be watched closely by the
international community
- the most feared spy says that, when the evidence of the AMIA attack began to target Iran, Cristina and Zannini asked him to
stop,
although he and Nisman went ahead anyway.
And that Nisman
was murdered.
