Argentine Investigator Charged with Concealing Evidence in AMIA Bombing Case
Viviana Fein, the former prosecutor who led the investigation into the 2015 death of Alberto Nisman, has been charged with 'aggravated concealment' for allegedly mishandling evidence. Nisman was a special prosecutor investigating the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people. His death, ruled a suicide by Fein, occurred hours before he was to present evidence implicating Argentine officials in a cover-up of Iran's role in the bombing. The charges against Fein suggest she failed to preserve the crime scene, potentially contaminating evidence.
