Judge Rafecas dismisses AMIA cover-up probe against President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner
Federal Judge Daniel Rafecas has decided there are no elements to move forward with an investigation on an alleged political operation led by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and top government officials to cover-up the role played by Iran in the bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center.
Federal Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita is expected to appeal the magistrate’s decision.
Days before he was found dead in his apartment in the Buenos Aires City neighbourhood of Puerto Madero, AMIA special prosecutor Alberto Nisman accused President Kirchner, Foreign Minster Héctor Timerman, lawmaker Andrés “Cuervo” Larroque and social leaders Luis D’Elía and Fernando Esteche of conducting secret negotiations to cover-up Iran’s involvenment in the 1994 that claimed the lives of 85 people and left hundreds injured.
Under the deal, Iranian oil would be exchanged for Argentina’s grain, easing the country’s chronic energy deficit.
After Nisman’s mysterious death, Pollicita picked up the case that has been now dismissed by Judge Rafecas.
