The case against Cristina Kirchner began with the complaint of prosecutor Alberto Nisman. The case was elevated to an oral trial in 2018 and was filed in the Federal Oral Court 8 (TOF 8) In this debate, the alleged attempt to cover up the five Iranians accused of having been the intellectual authors of the attack on the AMIA will be judged.
The Court that will judge Cristina is made up of judges Andrés Basso and Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu, as well as Javier Ríos. It will be the Court in charge that will determine if there was a crime or not. The attack was carried out by a Hezbollah commando, the late prosecutor Nisman denounced in 2015. In this sense, they indicated that the complaint was based on a criminal hypothesis, that is, it did not point against the power of the Executive Branch to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran. One of the arguments refuted was the idea that the Pact with Iran was just a state policy that should not be judicialized.
