TOI Op-Ed: Two Years After His Death, Nisman’s Complaint Could See The Light

1/17/2017

Comments

 
B'nai B'rith Special Advisor on Latin America Affairs Adriana Camisar wrote about how there is hope for Argentine Federal Prosecutor Alberto Nisman's complaint against former Argentina President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and her Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman to see the light of day.

Nisman charged that they secretly negotiated a pact with Iran in order to get impunity for the Iranians accused of plotting and executing the AMIA attack. Nisman's complaint will finally be investigated.
 He “mysteriously” died days after making extremely these serious allegations.

Jan. 18 will mark the second anniversary of the “mysterious” death of Argentine Federal Prosecutor Alberto Nisman. For more than ten years, Nisman had been in charge of the investigation of the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) building in Buenos Aires.
 
He was found dead in his apartment four days after making extremely serious allegations against then President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, her Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman and other people close to the government. Nisman stated he had extensive evidence that the government had secretly negotiated a pact with Iran in order to get impunity for the Iranians accused of plotting and executing the AMIA attack. 
 
The pact the prosecutor was referring to—known as the Memorandum of Understanding—was signed in January 2013. Through this agreement, both governments pledged to create a "truth commission" to jointly investigate the AMIA bombing, something as absurd as creating a Nazi commission to investigate the Holocaust. At the time, the government justified the signing of this pact on the need to discover the truth. However, it seemed clear to most people who knew the case, that the signing of this pact represented a major shift in Argentina’s foreign policy, as it attempted to improve relations with Teheran at the expense of the bombing’s many victims.

​The pact never came into force because the Iranian Parliament did not ratify it, and also because it was ultimately declared unconstitutional by an Argentine Federal Court. But it would have given the Iranians access to all the documentation of the case, and made it easier for them to get rid of the Interpol red alerts that Nisman had secured against the accused.

​Nisman’s death left the country in shock and there are still no clear answers as to what exactly happened to him. However, there is now some hope that his complaint will finally be investigated.

Right after Nisman’s death, a brave prosecutor tried to get the courts to open a serious investigation into his allegations. But Daniel Rafecas, the judge assigned to the case, dismissed his complaint in a very expedited way and with questionable legal arguments. His ruling was appealed but the Federal Court quickly dismissed it as well. A federal prosecutor subsequently appealed this decision before the Court of Cassation—the last resort that the Argentine criminal system admits before resorting to the Supreme Court. But the prosecutor who needed to allow the case to get to the Court of Cassation failed to do it (probably because of his known ties with the former government) and therefore, all doors seemed to get closed and most Argentineans believed that a proper investigation would never take place.

​However, several things changed since then. On Dec. 10, 2016, Mauricio Macri took office as the new president of Argentina, and one of the first things he did was to let the pact with Iran die. He did this by not appealing the ruling that had declared it unconstitutional. Macri also said that he expected the judiciary to act with independence and to get to the truth.

Several months ago, the Delegation of Argentine Israelite Associations (DAIA), which is the Jewish umbrella organization in Argentina, made a new presentation alleging that the case should be re-opened because of “newly found evidence,” and requested to be admitted as a plaintiff. The new pieces of evidence submitted were a recording that was found in which  Timerman—in a conversation with the former head of the AMIA—conceded that he was negotiating with the ones that “placed the bomb,” and the ruling that declared that the pact with Iran was unconstitutional.

Rafecas, the original judge of the case dismissed the request and so did the Federal Court, but when the issue got to the Court of Cassation once again, they finally decided to re-open the investigation. The Court of Cassation accepted the DAIA as a plaintiff and ordered Rafecas and the other judges that had intervened to withdraw from the case.

For the first time in two years the possibility to get to the truth seems real. And, of course, this case could shed light on what really happened to Nisman, as his death is undoubtedly linked to his complaint.
It is still too early to know if the investigation will go as far as it needs to go, but the re-opening of the case is certainly a promising sign

B'nai B'rith Leaders Meet In Argentina About Nisman Death (Spanish)

5/8/2015

B'nai B'rith leadership joined the rest of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations of the United States on a mission to Buenos Aires to express solidarity in their concerns over the ongoing AMIA bombing investigation, particularly the unresolved death of former prosecutor Alberto Nisman.

The delegation met with Congresswomen Patricia Bullrich and Laura Alonso, authorities from DAIA on AMIA, Eduardo Elztain, Rabbi Sergio Bergman, Rabbi Abraham Skorka and Marcos Aguinis, among others.

B'nai B'rith International Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin and Mario Wilhelm, president of B'nai B'rith Argentina, represented the organization in those meetings. 


The visit was covered by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and Buenos Aires Herald as well as Spanish newspapers Iton Gadol, La Nacion, Infobae, Cronista, Clarín highlights of which can be found below:

Jewish Telegraphic Agency:

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in an article published last month linked Jewish leaders to an international conspiracy against the government and railed against the late AMIA prosecutor Alberto Nisman on Twitter to her more than 3.7 million followers. Nisman had charged that Argentina’s government covered up Iran’s role in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish center, which killed 85 and injured 300. Argentina’s courts have dismissed Nisman’s accusations.

On her tweet, Kirchner accused Nisman of saying during meetings with Jewish community leaders that Paul Singer, a Jewish-American billionaire who heads a U.S. hedge fund, would provide billions of dollars to prevent Argentina from signing a memorandum of understanding with Iran on jointly investigating the AMIA bombing. The memorandum, which has received international criticism, was signed in January 2013.

Last week, a lawsuit alleging treason against Argentine Jewish leaders and Singer was sent to a prosecutor, who said he will investigate.

Jewish Telegraphic Agency

La Nacion (Spanish):

En su encuentro con la prensa, y sin perder los modos diplomáticos, Hoenlein y los dirigentes que lo acompañaron a reuniones y encuentros se mostraron "preocupados" por la ofensiva contra la comunidad organizada, así como por la falta de esclarecimiento de los atentados a la embajada de Israel y la AMIA y por la misteriosa muerte del fiscal que denunció por encubrimiento a la presidenta Cristina Kirchner, el canciller Héctor Timerman y referentes del kirchnerismo.

"La justicia por Nisman no debería ser un tema político, el esclarecimiento del atentado a la AMIA, tampoco. Es un tema de justicia, de la calidad de la democracia, del ejemplo que les dan a sus hijos", dijo Hoenlein. La agenda de la delegación fue nutrida: a las reuniones con la dirigencia comunitaria se sumaron encuentros con familiares de las víctimas nucleados en Memoria Activa; con las diputadas Laura Alonso y Patricia Bullrich (ambas incluidas en la denuncia presentada por al abogado Juan Gabriel Labaké, aceptada por el fiscal Carlos Stornelli), y con el rabino y diputado de Pro, Sergio Bergman. ¿Y el Gobierno? "No pedimos ni obtuvimos ninguna reunión con ellos", contestó Hoenlein.
La Nacion

Infobae (Spanish):

Sobre su visita al país, aclararon que "sólo nos reunimos con Memoria Activa, de hecho, no estamos acá para involucrarnos, sino para mostrar solidaridad. Intentamos reunirnos con la jueza Sandra Arroyo Salgado, pero por cuestiones de agenda no pudo suceder". Sin embargo, se mostraron dispuestos a volver a reunirse en el país en momentos en que un nuevo Gobierno llegue, a fines de este año.

La delegación la lidera Malcolm Hoenlein, vicepresidente ejecutivo de la Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations y de la cual también participan Richard Stone, ex presidente de la Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Stephen Greenberg, próximo presidente de la Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Julio Messer, ex presidente de la American Friends of Likud, Nathanial Storch, miembro de la Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Daniel Mariaschin, vicepresidente ejecutivo de la B'nai B'rith International, Amir Shivav, vicepresidente ejecutivo de la JDC y Mario Wilhelm, Presidente de la B'nai B'rith Argentina.
Infobae

Buenos Aires Herald:

The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations also demanded that the investigation into the mysterious death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman “be pursued in a thorough, dedicated, and transparent way.” 

Representatives from the NGO founded in 1956 vowed to help “in any way deemed appropriate.” “The leaders of the Jewish community in Argentina have deep concerns about recent events that raise the specter of anti-Semitism and, in particular, the serious charges leveled against leaders of the community,” the organization said in a press release.
Buenos Aires Herald

Iton Gadol (Spanish):

Las máximas autoridades de la Conferencia de Presidentes de las Principales Organizaciones Judías de los Estados Unidos están visitando Buenos Aires esta semana con el fin de expresar su solidaridad con la comunidad judía argentina con respecto a sus principales preocupaciones e inquietudes e informarse acerca de la situación actual. 

“Queremos mostrar nuestro interés, estamos muy preocupados. Nuestra misión es ver en qué podemos ayudar en el caso Nisman, en el de la AMIA y en el de la Embajada de Israel”, expresó Malcolm Hoenlin, vicepresidente ejecutivo de la organización, en diálogo con la Agencia Judía de Noticias. 

Los líderes americanos se reunieron con la diputada Patricia Bullrich, la diputada Laura Alonso, autoridades de la AMIA y la DAIA, Eduardo Elztain, el rabino Sergio Bergman, el rabino Abraham Skorka y Marcos Aguinis, entre otros.
 
“Vinimos a dar apoyo a las comunidades judías argentinas, que las sentimos muy fuertes. Nuestra intención es escuchar sus preocupaciones y ver qué es lo que éstas significan. Buscamos demostrar que las comunidades judías estadounidenses están unidas a la judeidad argentina”, agregó.

Visitaron Argentina Richard Stone, ex presidente, Stephen Greenberg, futuro presidente, y Samuel Schear, jefe de oficina, de la Conferencia de Presidentes de las Principales Organizaciones Judías de los Estados Unidos; Julio Messer, ex presidente de los Amigos Americanos de Likud; Amir Shivav, JDC;  Mariaschin, vicepresidente ejecutivo de Bnai Brith Internacional; y Mario Wilhelm, presidente de Bnai Brith Argentina.
Iton Gadol

Clarín (Spanish):

También creemos que es imperativo que las largas demoras en traer justicia a aquellos responsables por los atentados a la AMIA ya la embajada de Israel deben terminar.

También debe haber un urgente y comprensivo esfuerzo en cuanto a la muerte de Alberto Nisman. Los hechos debe ser establecidos en cuanto a como murió y después, determinar un seguimiento inmediato.Su investigación debe ser seguida con dedicación y en una forma transparente.
Clarin

Cronista (Spanish):

Tras dos días en el país, los dirigentes estadounidenses escucharon los reproches desde DAIA y AMIA contra la Presidenta que incluyó a las entidades dentro de una "confabulación internacional" para boicotear el memorándum firmado entre Argentina e Irán, para avanzar en la causa por el atentado que mató a 85 personas en 1994.

Argentina: Former B'nai B'rith Honoree Takes Over AMIA Case

2/6/2015

Picturehttp://www.derecho.uba.ar/
Following the tragic and mysterious death of Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman in January, just hours before he was scheduled to deliver his findings on the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires, a new name has been introduced to the case.

Daniel Rafecas, a respected human rights and Holocaust expert and former B'nai B'rith Argentina honoree, has assigned the next step of the investigation, according to articles by Arutz Sheva (English), Agence France-Presse (Spanish) and 
Agence France-Presse (Portuguese).

Separate investigation continues into the circumstances of Nisman's death, details of which are included in the full coverage below:


Arutz Sheva (English):


A respected Holocaust expert was named Wednesday to take over as judge in the politically explosive case of a 1994 Jewish center bombing that has shaken Argentina since the lead prosecutor's mysterious death, AFP reports.

[...]

Rafecas, a human rights expert, has authored studies on the Holocaust that earned him awards from three Argentine Jewish groups: B'nai B'rith Argentina, the Argentine Hebrew Society and the Buenos Aires Holocaust Museum Foundation.

He is also known for trying military officers for abuses committed during the South American country's 1976-1983 dictatorship.

El juez Daniel Rafecas, experto en derechos humanos y en el Holocausto, tomará la causa del supuesto encubrimiento de la presidenta Cristina Kirchner a exgobernantes iraníes por un atentado antijudío en 1994, denuncia elevada por el fiscal Alberto Nisman, quien apareció muerto misteriosamente el 18 de enero.

[...]

El caso dividió al país entre quienes piensan que Nisman fue una víctima del gobierno y los que denuncian un complot internacional para desacreditar a Kirchner impulsado por poderosos exagentes de los servicios de inteligencia echados de sus puestos el 17 de diciembre pasado.

Rafecas juzgó a militares de la dictadura (1976-83) por delitos de lesa humanidad y por sus estudios sobre la Shoá que perpetraron los nazis recibió los premios Derechos Humanos de la Fundación B'nai B'rith, Moisés 2011 de la Sociedad Hebraica Argentina y Gilbert Lewi de la Fundación Museo del Holocausto de Buenos Aires.
