Judges dismiss case against former president regarding alleged cover-up of Iran's possible role in the 1994 bombing of AMIA Jewish community centre. Carlos Zannini, Oscar Parrilli and the late Héctor Timerman also cleared.



Vice-President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has been acquitted in the case regarding the controversial Memorandum of Understanding between Argentina and Iran, based on a denunciation by the late special AMIA prosecutor Alberto Nisman shortly before his own death.

On the basis of the non-existence of a crime, the court’s judges have thus closed Nisman’s denunciation for signing that Memorandum. The decision could be reviewed by the Federal Criminal Cassation Court if appealed by the prosecutor or the plaintiffs, DAIA Jewish umbrella grouping and the relatives of the victims of the 1994 terrorist bomb destruction of the AMIA Jewish community centre.

"The agreement with Iran, whether considered a political success or failure, does not constitute a crime," the court’s judges ruled. ​

Fernández de Kirchner, 68, was accused of obstructing an investigation into the 1994 bombing, in connection with the controversial deal her administration brokered with Tehran.
