Sorry - this page has been removed. Argentinian MPs back spy agency changes after prosecutor's death
(4 months later)
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason. Argentinian MPs have passed a bill to revamp the country’s intelligence service, parts of which the president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, has portrayed as sinister, accountable to no one and possibly responsible for the death of a star prosecutor.
The government submitted the bill after the state investigator Alberto Nisman was found dead on 18 January, a few days after he accused Fernández of trying to cover up Iran’s alleged role in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community centre. She rejected the accusation as “absurd”.
For further information, please contact: Fernández says the new state security body established under the legislation will be more accountable. But opponents say the legislation does little more than change the name of the spy agency and has been rushed through congress. The opposition boycotted some of the debate.
It is still not known whether Nisman shot himself or was murdered. The government has said rogue agents tricked Nisman into making false accusations against her as part of a wider plot to unseat the president. Iran has consistently denied any involvement in the 1994 Amia Centre truck bombing.
The chamber of deputies approved the bill by a majority of 131 to 71 after an overnight debate. Fernández now has to sign the bill, which she is expected to do in the coming days.
