The account, the earth, the scribe

On the morning of Saturday 17 January, the last day he recorded an activity on his mobile phone, Alberto Nisman made a curious step: he suppressed previous discussions with the scribe Bruno Santin. In the court case where the prosecutor's tax maneuvers were the subject of an investigation, the notary appears as the author of the three hidden lands that Nisman possessed in Punta del Este. In the record said that the purchase was 288,035 dollars and were paid to Pueblo Mio S.A. C is three plots of 4000 square meters each in the heavenly district that bears this name.

Prosecutor Juan Pedro Zoni has requested the opening of an investigation on Nisman's mother, Sara Garfunkel, especially because the three lands had been surrendered on his behalf. The prosecutor has stated verbatim that, according to a report by the AFIP, Garfunkel reportedly declared an income of about 57,000 Argentine pesos in 2013, at the time of the facts, so that he would never have been able to pay these lands. The obvious conclusion is that she acted as a figurehead for her son. Add to that that Nisman ordered that the bills be paid from a hidden account that the attorney had at Merrill Lynch in New York. The prosecutor lied by filling out the original form of the US account saying that he was a lawyer and not a prosecutor, concealing that he was a politically exposed person. According to what comes out of his computer, $ 1,600,000 was transferred to the account, the balance at the time of Nisman's death rising to $ 660,000. The movements were carried out by the prosecutor, while the story was in the name of Garfunkel, Sandra Nisman, sister of the prosecutor, and the computer Diego Lagomarsino, further evidence that the money was d & # 39; dark origin and that Nisman had hidden it.

The distinctive feature of the deletion of discussions with Secretary Santin is that the messages were not of that day. This is the only case in which we did not delete WhatsApps immediately before, but dialogs specified days before. We see that he did not want to leave this trace on the phone, although the evidence was left on the computer.

All the cause of Nisman's hidden fortune has been around for over a year. The defense of Sara Garfunkel, accused of money laundering following the maneuvers of her son, argued that the origin of the information was an intelligence report from the US financial authorities and that this document could not be used as judicial evidence. In truth, Sandra Arroyo Salgado has complained to the origin of the existence of the hidden account and claimed that "this could be the reason they killed Nisman". The impression left is that Arroyo Salgado made this decision by claiming black money as an inheritance from his daughters.

The prosecutor who was actually investigating, Zoni, was stricken from the role and the case was in the hands of prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita, who paralyzed everything.
