A reporter who broke the story that an Argentine prosecutor was found dead shortly before he was about to make explosive allegations about President Cristina Kirchner has fled Argentina after receiving threats.
“Now safe in Tel Aviv. Thanks everybody. We’ll talk soon,” Damian Pachter tweeted.
A citizen of Argentina and Israel, he worked for the English-language Buenos Aires Herald. Pachter fled Argentina after receiving threats and being followed, he told colleagues in other media.
The reporter, who also worked with Israel’s Haaretz, told colleagues his phones had been tapped in Argentina.
“I will return when my sources tell me that the conditions have changed,” Pachter told the Herald. “I don’t think that will happen under this administration.”
It was the worst terror attack in modern history for Argentina, home to Latin America’s largest Jewish community.
