Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner is moving to rein in the country’s intelligence services and strengthen her allies in the legal system in response to a political scandal over the death of a prosecutor investigating her for graft.
Fernandez, speaking in public for the first time since Prosecutor Alberto Nisman was found dead on the floor of his apartment, said she will create a new federal intelligence agency and grant the public prosecutor’s office the right to monitor its wire tapping activities.
