BUENOS AIRES, Oct 7 (Reuters) - An Argentine judge on Thursday dismissed the case against former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner over an alleged cover-up of Iran's possible role in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center that killed 85 people.
The case made international news in 2015 when the prosecutor leading the case against then-President Kirchner was found dead in his apartment, leading to speculation that he had been murdered.
The judge on Thursday ruled that the allegations against Fernandez and other administration officials "do not constitute a crime", according to news reports in local media.
The judicial case looked into the Fernandez administration's attempt to sign a memorandum with Iran to investigate who was responsible for the car bombing.
