Federal judge Ariel Lijo has asked Intelligence Secretariat (SI) chief Oscar Parrilli to give details over the identity of two alleged agents that were accused by late prosecutor Alberto Nisman of being part of the cover-up of the AMIA bombing.
Judicial sources informed that one of the agents in question is former judge and lawyer Luis Yrimia, who Nisman had called for questioning as part of his complaint filed last week.
Lijo wishes to know if Yrimia worked with the SI on the AMIA case alongside another, unnamed individual, said to be the contact between the government and Iran’s confidant in Buenos Aires Jorge ‘Yussuf’ Khalil. The judge supplied Parrilli with the full names of the agents implicated, after the government yesterday ordered the declassification of their identity and actions.
Lijo is overseeing a case involving alleged irregularities and cover-up activities committed in the investigation into the 1994 AMIA bombing, with parts of the file already having reached the initial trial stages and with ex-president Carlos Menem standing as one of the accused.
Prosecutor Ramiro González, also working on the case brought forward by Nisman, also requested that the content of 19 discs, equivalent to the capacity of 900 CDs, of wiretap evidence gathered by the deceased as part of his accusation against President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and other high-ranking figures be transcribed for use in the investigation.
