The death of Alberto Nisman, an Argentine attorney who specialized in international terrorism, became known in the early hours of Monday, January 19, 2015. He was found shot in the head in his apartment in the Torre del Parque building in the upscale Le Parc Puerto Madero development in the neighborhood of Puerto Madero, (Buenos Aires). The cause is labeled a "suspicious death" and there have been various speculations on whether this was a murder or suicide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=La fiscal ratificó la carátula de muerte dudosa )〕 The Nisman death is under investigation by Federal Judge Emma Palmaghini and Special Prosecutor Viviana Fein. ==Background== Natalio Alberto Nisman had been the Special Prosecutor in charge of the 1994 AMIA bombing investigation since 13 September 2004. The case had been marked by judicial misconduct, and had reached an impasse.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cronología del caso AMIA a 20 años del atentado )〕 The 2013 signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran to facilitate the investigation led to a breach between the President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, however. Nisman alleged that the signing of the memorandum with Iran was part of an effort to cover-up alleged Iranian complicity in the AMIA bombing in exchange for improved trade relations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Argentina to question ex-spy in probe of Nisman's death )〕 The accusation was based on Nisman's belief that the administration had petitioned Interpol to lift Red Notices against numerous Iranian officials during said negotiations. The Secretary General of Interpol at the time, Ronald Noble, noted on 15 January 2015 however that no such requests had been made, that Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman had stated on each occasion the case was discussed that Interpol should keep the red notices effective,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Five key days: from accusations to tragedy )〕 and that "Prosecutor Nisman's assertion is false."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former Secretary General of Interpol Ronald Noble talks about the complaint: "What Nisman says is false" )〕 Federal Judge Daniel Rafecas dismissed the Nisman complaint, which had been resubmitted to the courts by Federal Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita, on 26 February. Judge Rafecas noted in his ruling that "none of the two hypotheses of a crime put forward by prosecutor Pollicita in his writ stand up to the minimum level of scrutiny" and that "none of the two hypotheses of a crime put forward by prosecutor Pollicita in his writ stand up to a minimum level of scrutiny.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Judge Rafecas dismisses AMIA cover-up charge against President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner )〕 Pollicita did not succeed Nisman as chief AMIA prosecutor; this office was headed as of 13 February by a prosecution task force led by coordinator Juan Murray.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Four prosecutors to probe ’94 bombing )〕 The discovery of the body came hours before the prosecutor was to present his complaint to the Criminal Law Committee of the Chamber of Deputies;〔(«El fiscal Alberto Nisman irá al Congreso para informar sobre la imputación a Cristina Kirchner y Timerman» ), 20.1.2015 ''La Nación'' (Buenos Aires).〕〔(«Quién era el fiscal Nisman» ), 19.1.2015 ''La Nación'' (Buenos Aires)〕〔(«Cómo son las torres Le Parc y el departamento donde murió Nisman» ), 19.1.2015 ''La Nación'' (Buenos Aires).〕 Nisman had already submitted his complaint and wiretap transcripts to Judge Ariel Lijo on 14 January.〔 The Nisman death is under investigation by Federal Judge Emma Palmaghini and Special Prosecutor Viviana Fein. It is unknown if the death was a suicide, a forced suicide, or a murder.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Death of Alberto Nisman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
