Investigators examining the death of a prosecutor who accused Argentine President Cristina Fernandez of agreeing to shield the alleged masterminds of a 1994 bombing, say they have found a draft document he wrote requesting her arrest, reports Al-Jazeera.
Viviana Fein, the chief investigator, said on Tuesday the draft detention request was found in a trash bin of the Buenos Aires apartment where Alberto Nisman's body was discovered on January 18. It was not included in a complaint Nisman had filed in federal court just days earlier.
Nisman was found dead of a bullet wound in his bathroom hours before he was to appear in Congress to detail his allegations that Fernandez agreed to protect those responsible for the 1994 bombing of Buenos Aires' largest Jewish community centre.
The attack, which killed 85 people, remains unsolved. Fernandez has dismissed the allegations against her. Fein at first denied the existence of the document requesting Fernandez's arrest after Argentina's Clarin newspaper published an article about it on Sunday.
Jorge Capitanich, the cabinet chief, tore up the article in front of reporters on Monday and said it was a lie produced by the "opposition media".
