Pollicita appeals judge Rafecas’ ruling; Appeals Court to decide

Federal Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita has filed an appeal against Judge Daniel Rafecas’ ruling dismissing late Alberto Nisman’s AMIA cover-up complaint against President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and top government officials.

It is now up to the Federal Criminal Appeals Court to decide whether it accepts the appeal, after Rafecas dismissed last week the charges against the Kirchnerite administration for having allegedly covered up Iran’s role in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community centre.

Rafecas considered that the minimum conditions to launch a criminal investigation had not been met, based on what the prosecutor presented.

The complaint against the president was filed by Nisman himself four days before he was found dead in his apartment at the Le Parc towers in Puerto Madero neighbourhood. Pollicita’s team took over the file after Nisman’s death.
