Biography
Natalio Alberto Nisman started his career of prosecutor in Morón, Buenos Aires. He was married to judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado, and had two daughters with her.[1]
He worked on the investigation of the AMIA bombing, a 1994 terrorist attack against the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association. He asked in 2008 for the detention of the former president Carlos Menem and the judge Juan José Galeano. WikiLeaks revealed that the US diplomacy considered that Nisman may have done so to be in good standing with president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.[1] He was considered a possible candidate for General Prosecutor of the Nation, after the resignation of Esteban Righi during the Boudougate scandal. The government ultimately proposed Daniel Reposo, who was rejected by Congress, and then Alejandra Gils Carbó.[1]
Nisman rejected the 2013 Memorandum of understanding signed with Iran to investigate the case.[1] Two years later, he accused President Cristina Kirchner, Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman and other politicians of covering up Iranian suspects in the case. On 19 January 2015, prosecutor Nisman was found dead at his home in Buenos Aires with a handgun nearby, hours before he was due to explain his allegations to Congress.[2][3]
