Overview
- Judge Julián Ercolini, who ruled Tuesday, charged Fein and ordered a 15 million‑peso asset embargo in the probe of Alberto Nisman's death.
- His ruling says Fein arrived about 90 minutes late, entered without protective gear, allowed people to circulate without control or identification, confined the search to the apartment, and let items, including the gun, be handled without proper custody.
- The court found these failures altered or erased evidence and harmed the homicide investigation, which the judiciary treats as a killing even as the killer remains unidentified.
- Fein rejects the accusation, says entries were staggered and did not contaminate the scene, calls herself a scapegoat, and plans to appeal to the Federal Chamber.
- In Argentina, a processing order is a pretrial step rather than a conviction, and related proceedings still involve other officials and the technician who supplied the weapon, while the main case against Nisman's associates continues.
