Almost 7 years after Nisman's death, investigators will only be able to see the files of the main defendant and the police officers who were supposed to take care of the prosecutor during the hours they killed him.

"We want a country where justice is truly independent"

, said Alberto Fernández, closing the campaign in Tecnópolis, while it was just known that the Court was rejecting a request from Diego Lagomarsino - his lawyers are from the same law firm that defends De Vido and Lázaro Báez - and gave the green light for the prosecutor investigating Nisman's death to finally be 

able to analyze the content of one of his cell phones, his computers and other electronic devices.

The Court took a year to make its decision known, which took a formal brief of just 12 lines in half a page, but it opens a

new panorama

in the case: there are thousands of pages with archived information on Lagomarsino and the custodians of Nisman that they had to take care of him and left him alone during the 15 hours in which what the justice investigated as a murder occurred.

It was not just any weekend: Nisman had denounced Cristina Kirchner and her government officials on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 - for covering up the authors of the AMIA attack - and the following Monday he would go to Congress to argue about his complaint. .

On Saturday the 17th his guards left at eight at night.

Nisman was alive.

They returned on Sunday the 18th at 11 in the morning.

Nisman was dead

, although they would only discover him at ten o'clock at night because, instead of going in to see what was going on, the policemen spent the whole day

going around aimlessly.

If there were murderers who needed time to arrange some things and erase others,

they had plenty of it.

Whether or not there is relevant information in the new files that prosecutor Eduardo Taiano is going to review or not is still an enigma, but it is the

“digital trail” of

no less than the man who carried the weapon used in the crime and the four guards that they left that temporary "window" open during which the murder occurred.

A digital recreation of the crime scene.

Some contextual issues to consider:

-Lagomarsino arrived at Nisman's environment recommended by

a spy from the Aeronautical Police

.

-Although his activity is computing, he said that with that same spy he

went to shoot

firearms.

-There are at least three direct testimonies in the file that say that Lagomarsino

was an intelligence agent.

-Lagomarsino stated that the day he brought the weapon to Nisman's apartment it was the prosecutor who called him, but the expert reports later determined that

he communicated first through a WhatsApp message

and the prosecutor only called him back.

His visits to the Puerto Madero department occurred after that.

-The computer experts in the case determined that Nisman's cell phone was erased: there were messages on cell phones from people who communicated with him and he had no counterpart in Nisman's device.

What is striking is that a

"deep erasure"

was made on that cell phone

that prevents recovery

and is impossible to do for an ordinary user such as the prosecutor, without computer skills.

-Lagomarsino had

remote access

to Nisman's computers and those entries are recorded in the file.

-In the first phone kidnapped from Lagomarsino

, sketch images

appeared showing

the main lines of investigation of the AMIA case being carried out by Nisman.

There is a universe of possibilities that opens with access to these records that the Gendarmerie took two years to download from the electronic devices and, when they were ready, it took another year to be seen by investigators due to constant judicial appeals.

The decision comes as part of the 89 SIDE spies who were active the weekend Nisman was found dead are testifying before the prosecution.

They worked in groups that reported to the internal chief closest to the government of Cristina Kirchner at that time, Fernando Pocino, who in turn reported to the then second head of the SIDE and current vice minister of justice of the Nation, Juan Martín Mena.

Former SIDE agent Fernando Pocino.

In parallel, in addition, an oral court is dealing these days with Cristina Kirchner's request to

stop the trial

where she is accused by the Pact with Iran, that complaint that Nisman presented just four days before being found in the bathroom of her apartment with a bullet in the head.

In the first 24 hours after Nisman's suicide, Cristina's government tried six times to impose the hypothesis that Nisman had committed suicide.

The argument was that the prosecutor could not bear the situation because he had no evidence of the accusation on the Pact with Iran.

The same argument for which Cristina wants to stop the trial now. 

The expert reports determined that the weapon that killed Nisman

had no fingerprints of the victim

;

that Nisman

had no traces of gunpowder on his hands

and that the apartment

was not locked from the inside.

Also, that half of the cameras in the complex where the prosecutor lived were

not working,

and that there were many ways to get inside the Le Parc towers

without being seen.
