Prosecutor before the Federal Appeals Court Germán Moldes has requested justices to continue the investigation into an alleged plan by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and top government officials to cover up the role played by Iran in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires City.
In a written presentation today, Moldes considered the decision by Federal Judge Daniel Rafecas to dismiss the investigation “rushed,” saying certain tests had to be conducted.
“It is necessary to investigate, to put the process in movement and figure out the event that has come to our knowledge. The contrary represents the conscious resignation to the truth and to the principle of justice,” he said.
Moldes also ratified his decision in statements to the press. “If a slow justice is not justice, a rushed one is less.”
Before he was found dead in his apartment located in the BA City neighbourhood of Puerto Madero on January 18, AMIA special prosecutor Alberto Nisman filed a report accusing President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman, ruling Victory Frony (FpV) party MP Andrés «Cuervo» Larroque and political leaders Luis D´Elía and Fernando Esteche of masterminding a plan to cover up Iran’s alleged responsibility in the 1994 attack.
The alleged pact would involve Buenos Aires requesting to have the Intepol red notices against Iranian officials lifted, in exchange for oil from Tehran. Nisman said the oil would be traded for Argentine grains.
