Biography Amia Miley
The terrorist attack, which was considered the largest in its kind in the history of the South American country, was followed by two years and four months, an attack committed near the Embassy of Israel in Buenos Aires, as a result of which 22 more people were killed. This event caused various celebrations throughout the country, starting with a demonstration organized by the families of victims near Amiya itself under the slogan "terrorism continues, impunity too." In fact, this matter is symbolic not only because of the pain caused to society, in addition to deaths, the explosion of a mined car was also leaded to wounds, but also because of the difficulty to shed light on the instigators and executors of the attack.
The topic on which the disagreements between the current government and the previous levocentric administrations are intertwined and which crosses national borders, influencing relations between Argentina and Iran, a country that is believed to be a possible organizer of the attack. Now this issue is in the first place on the agenda of the government.
Miley, the president, who from the very beginning of his mandate pointed to Israel as a decisive reference point in the shift of the Argentine foreign policy to the West. During the conference on security organized by the World Jewish Congress on Wednesday, the president promised to speed up the lawsuits in the Amiya case, taking steps, "to which no other government had the courage to undertake." A large -scale obligation, including several actions taken in recent days.
Last week, the government announced the Palestinian Islamic movement of Hamas with an international terrorist organization. And no one, as Miley specified yesterday, “cannot reasonably doubt that the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7 last year in Israel are groups of the fanatical government of Iran. On Sunday, in the columns of Tehran Times, the editorial article ended with a promise that Buenos Aires "regret his hostility with Iran." And it was precisely to prepare for new security challenges that Miley announced the recent decision "to fully reform the national intelligence system with three agencies in the Argentines protection service." From a procedural point of view, there are currently three directions of the investigation: one - to restore the dynamics and actors of the terrorist action, and the second - to verify the alleged existence of conspiracies created to conceal evidence and prevent the guilty.
With the first line, held by Judge Joan Jose Galean, that the White Renault Traffic owned by this group was filled with explosives to strike at the Amia headquarters. Carlos Telledin. He said that shortly before the explosion, he handed the car to a group of police officers in the capital. But in court it turned out that Telledin was bought to testify to the police, and the case was closed.
The investigation then passed into the hands of Nimmanname by a special prosecutor in the Amiya case. In the year, his office believed that he had enough evidence to blame the members of the Iranian government and the Lebanese Shiite Party of Hezbollah of attacking. Consequently, international arrest orders and the corresponding warning of Interpol against five of the nine accused are still in force.
However, today this trend has not led to any final sentence: formally, instigators and executors of the attack have not yet been established. Meanwhile, the matter was even more complicated. In the year, with the start of the investigation of the Nisman case, the so -called Amia II of the alleged violations from the peace and prosecutors conducting the first case was launched.
The work of Judge Ariel famously led to several sentences, starting with six -year imprisonment, appointed to the prosecutor Galeano, which was later confirmed by the appeal. However, no consequences for former President Carlos Memen, whose government officials, were shown, tried to shift the guilt of the police Buenos Aires. The third thing, the most delicate, concerns investigations aroused against former President Christina Fernandez de Kirschner in connection with the memorandum of the understanding signed in the year with Iran.
This document, according to Kirshner, would make judicial cooperation with Tehran, who had not yet wanted to interact in the Amia case.
However, for the prosecutor Nisman, the Memorandum, who never entered into force, became only the culmination of secret negotiations that the Argentine government led to obtain oil and other resources from Iran at favorable prices in exchange for a promise of impunity for suspects. The case, the second direction of the alleged concealment of the investigation, was transferred to the court in October of the year, while all the defendants were justified, since the memorandum was not identified as the subject of the crime.However, in September last year, the Cassation Court also declared this sentence invalid, and it is expected that the investigation will be resumed.
The plot of Nimman's death in January of the year even more complicates the plot. The prosecutor was found in the bathroom of his house with a gunshot wound in the head. The next day, Nisman, a native of a Jewish family, now buried twenty meters from the victims of Amiya, was supposed to present the evidence in the case of the Criminal Callery of the Chamber of Deputies.
However, the lack of convictions 30 years after the events does not put an end to investigations, primarily due to the fact that in the year the attack was recognized as a crime against humanity and, therefore, is not subject to a statute of limitations. On the other hand, not one of the eleven suspects - former Iranian officials, soldiers and politicians - never obeyed and did not agree to answer the Argentinean justice.
In the decision of April, by which the Cassation Court revised the measures of punishment in the Amia II case, the judges recalled the possible responsibility of Iran, calling on the state authorities to arouse legal instruments in order to be able to proceed with the trial even in the absence of the investigated. The obligation that the government of Milea seems to want to ensure: last week the executive branch submitted the bill to the parliament, which provides, in the case of serious crimes, genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, terrorism and others, to be able to continue criminal processes, even if the accused is absent or evades the appearance.
