Last January 18th, the happening was everywhere: Alberto Nisman, an Argentinan lawyer, was found dead in his apartment. 

Nisman, worked as a federal prosecutor, noted for being the chief investigator of the 1994 car bombing of the Jewish center in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people, the worst terrorist attack in Argentina's history.

Alberto Nisman, who worked at the very beginning of the government with Argentina's President Cristina Kirchner, had an unexpected accusation. He claimed he had proof that President Kirchner and the Foreign Minister Hector Timerman were in the process of creating a cover-up in the investigation of Iran over the 1994 bombing of AMIA (the main Jewish community center of Argentina).

 He presented a large report proof to a federal judge, who was not able to immediately reveal its content.  The opposition convoked Nisman to the Congress to present his findings. The meeting, scheduled for the 19 January, never happened. He was found dead at his apartment a few hours before. 

The main media of Argentina, sworn enemies of the government, threw out doubts over the circumstances of Nisman's death, suggesting that he was either murdered or pushed to commit suicide in a last-minute attempt to prevent his presentation to the Congress.

There are several theories about Nisman's death. Some media sources say it was a murder, other say it was a suicide and there are even some theories that it might be a political murder. 

Since this time, La Nación an Argentinian journal has been posting almost daily, information about this case. 
Here are several publications about it: 
Nisman worked on his cause even hours before his dead

Nisman's maid said he wouldn't commit suicide



Past week, the Argentinians threw away a massive walk in name of Nisman. They stood after two hours under the rain and it was estimated that more than 400,000 people assisted. (La Nacion)
