AMIA Jewish Community centre head Leonardo Jmelnitzky expressed his regret for the death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman who was in charge of the investigation of the terrorist attack against the centre’s headquarters in 1994, which killed over 85 people.
“He had worked for ten years in the cause. It is irreplaceable,” Jmlenitsky said. “The consequences of the prosecutor’s death are not those of the death of any person,” he added in an interview with the Jewish News Agency.
“It is very difficult to find someone who can get to know the case as he did,” Jmlenitsky said.
In a press release also signed by Julio Schlosser, head of DAIA Delegation of Argentine-Israeli Associations, AMIA warned against the death of prosecutor Nisman becoming the death of the (AMIA) probe.
