BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) -- The lead investigator in the mysterious death of a prosecutor who had accused Argentina's president of wrongdoing came under sharp criticism Monday for a video showing police working without latex gloves where Alberto Nisman's body was found.

Ernesto Duronto, vice president of Argentina's association of forensic experts, said many irregularities are seen in the video, which was shot by federal police and obtained by Canal 13.

The video "shows how things should not be done," Duronto said, saying it was paramount for forensic investigators to preserve the cleanliness of a crime scene.

In the video, an officer is seen removing articles from Nisman's safe without gloves. Officers are also seen picking up Nisman's cellphone without gloves and cleaning the gun found at the scene with toilet paper.
