The 27th anniversary of the AMIA attack came with a political and judicial scenario that
pushes to permanently stagnate
the possibilities of clarifying the 1994 attack and all the other irregularities that revolve around the case.
The president of AMIA, Ariel Eichbaum, said this Friday that this state of the case is due to the
"ineffectiveness and indifference"
of the state, but he failed to specify other factors.
First was the
annulment
of the original AMIA trial in 2004, then the pact with Iran that
relaxed the red alerts
that weigh on five Iranians and last year
the second dismissal
of the former car reducer who delivered the Traffic used as a car bomb , Carlos Telleldín.
And now the increasingly firm possibility that
the oral trial for the Pact with Iran in which the main defendant is Cristina Kirchner is annulled.
If the Federal Oral Court 8, after hearing the vice president, annuls the trial
, the questions that the complaint of the former AMIA prosecutor Alberto Nisman left in 2014 will not be answered before appearing shot dead
.
For example, the 2013 treaty made Interpol continue to include
a legend
in the red alerts about a diplomatic negotiation between Argentina and Iran that
no longer exists
. In addition, it will not be known
whether
the letter from former Interpol head Ronald Noble
was authentic
in which he stated that the alerts were still in force or, in fact, was drawn up in Buenos Aires. And even less if it was
Hugo Chávez
who asked Cristina for that memorandum with Iran, the main ally of Venezuela Chavista, among other doubts.
In addition, the AMIA head complained about the red alerts on the
Lebanese Hezbollah
member
, Salman El Reda
, accused of being the organizer of the attack on the ground. But one of the problems with this search is that the AFI attaché - an expert in international terrorism - in that country
had to return to the country last year due to the leak of his name
and that of another two thousand spies. For this violation of secrecy,
the AFI inspector, Cristina Caamano
,
was investigated as a suspect
today
.
Against this backdrop, one of the few exits that exist is falling, as
federal judge Franco Fiumara and long-time former AMIA lawyer Marta Nercellas
maintain in
Clarín
: that Congress enact
a law that authorizes trials in absentia
.
Iran will never allow its former cultural attache Moshe Rabbani and four other former officials to be investigated by the Argentine justice.
Then, that law would allow all the indications that exist and that point
to the government of Iran of 1994
as the one that would have given the order to the Islamic Jihad of the Hezbollah
to be aired in front of a public defender who is already acting in the case.
commit the attack in Buenos Aires.
Nercellas, one of the few lawyers who knows this voluminous case in detail, told
Clarín
that "until now there have been governments that
did not have enough political decision
to go against the intellectuals and materials of the attack."
On the other hand, "those who today exercise the government
do everything possible to reduce the last open investigation
, the one related to the Pact with Iran."
Then, "politicians should sanction the law of trial in absentia, allow
everything to be aired in an oral trial
and Argentine justice decides who is guilty or innocent," Nercellas said.
Contrary to what part of public opinion believes "in the case it is known in the case
who executed, who gave the order and who financed and everything should be debated in an oral trial
."
But Nercellas summarized: "there is a decision by a sector of political power
to pass the AMIA cause into oblivion
and a sector of Justice that
dilutes everything
."
To this judicial scenario should be added a
divided
Jewish community
- which until now was the main driving force behind the investigations - and without strong leaderships.
But for 27 years, relatives of the victims such as Luis Czyzewski and Mario Averbuch, among others, have
not lowered their arms
, despite setbacks and lack of support.
And as Eichbaum, Czyzewski and Mario Averbuch said, they are among those who
“do not fear the truth”,
in a response to a letter from the General Treasury Attorney, Carlos Zannini, in the case for the Pact with Iran, which argued otherwise.
