The former spy Antonio Stiusso was called to testify after the investigators
checked Alberto Nisman's phone records.

Argentinian authorities haven't yet determined the whereabouts of Antonio
Stiusso, a former intelligence agent who was wanted for questioning over the

ney-Alberto-Nisman-20150122-0021.html> death of Alberto Nisman, a state
prosecutor and lead investigator in the deadly 1994 bombing of a Jewish
community center in Buenos Aires. 

Stiusso's lawyer, Santiago Blanco Bermudez, said Thursday that his client
would not be giving testimony. Later, prosecutors say sources confirmed they
were unable to locate him at three different addresses held in his name. 

Later a top official acknowledged the government did not know if Stiusso,
who had been regarded as one of the most powerful operatives in Argentina's
leading spy agency, was even in the country. 

According to reports Stiusso was scheduled to give his testimony at 9 a.m.
in Buenos Aires Thursday, he was called by Viviana Fein - lead investigator
into the death of Nisman - after checking Nisman's phone records.

Nisman had been scheduled to appear before Congress to answer questions
regarding his report on the attack, but he was found dead in his apartment
just hours before he was to speak.

Government officials have say that rogue agents from Argentina's own
intelligence services were behind the murder and cables revealed by
WikiLeaks suggest that Nisman was being advised by U.S. and Israeli
intelligence services.
