Federal Judge Ariel Lijo has decided to interrupt his judicial recess and to return to Court today to take prosecutor Alberto Nisman’s complaint against President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and other Kirchnerite leaders for the coverup of the AMIA Jewish community centre bombing that killed 85 people in 1994.
Nisman, who was found dead today in his apartment in the Buenos Aires City neighbourhood of Puerto Madero, filed the case before Lijo last Wednesday, during the judge’s vacations.
Judicial sources reported that following Nisman’s death late last night, Lijo decided to interrupt his recess and to move forward with the complaint which demands a preventive embargo of 200 million pesos on Ms. Kirchner and requests to question the President, Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman, lawmaker of head of the pro-government organization «La Cámpora» Andrés Larroque, members of Argentina’s Intelligence Office, ex attorney and judge Héctor Yrimia, leader of the Iranian community here Jorge “Yussuf” Khali and political leaders Luis D’Elía and Fernando Esteche.
The recently-deceased prosecutor claimed that the Kirchnerite administration planned to “erase” Iran out from the AMIA case, deciding to “not incriminate” ex officials of the Islamic Republic in the bombing that left 85 people and hundreds injured almost 21 years ago with President Cristina Kirchner deciding a “geopolitical” rapprochement with Tehran, “establishing trade relations to mitigate the Argentine severe energy crisis, through an exchange of ‘oil for grains’.”
