UENOS AIRES, Argentina — Experts confirmed Monday that three laboratory analyses performed on the gun believed to have killed the special prosecutor for a 1994 bombing of a Buenos Aires Jewish community center tested positive for traces of gunpowder residue.
This new information dovetails with a test performed in February, which also detected no gunpowder on Nisman’s hands.
The result seems to negate the possibility that Nisman committed suicide, and support the theory that someone else shot him, or that someone cleaned the prosecutor’s hand. Some experts also said Monday that if the environmental conditions of the tests had slight changes the results could be different.
In July forensic pathologist Cyril Wech analyzed the case and said he believes that Nisman likely was murdered.
Prosecutor Viviana Fein has not yet released a final ruling. “I cannot determine for the moment whether it was a suicide or a homicide,” she said on March 6, when she convened the authors of the independent forensic report to examine their evidence. Her final ruling likely will be released after the October presidential elections.
New tests discredit notion that Argentina’s Nisman committed suicide
It would really be inconvenient if the ruling was released prior to the elections. He was murdered.
