\u201cThe wall of impunity is being breached,\u201d an Argentinian affairs commentator told The Algemeiner on Monday following the news that an Argentine court had reopened an investigation into former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and the alleged cover-up of Iran\u2019s involvement in the July 1994 bombing at a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in which 85 people were killed.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKirchner and her associates are no longer untouchable,\u201d Eamonn McDonagh said. \u201cAnd this move is important because this will be the first time that Nisman\u2019s allegation against the previous government will be investigated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

McDonagh was referring to federal prosecutor Alberto Nisman, who was found dead \u2014 with a gunshot wound to the head \u2014 under suspicious circumstances at his Buenos Aires home in January 2015, just days after he accused Kirchner and then-Foreign Minister Hector Timerman \u2014 among other government officials \u2013 of making a secret agreement with Iran to absolve the Tehran regime of responsibility for the attack at the Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina building in exchange for trade concessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

McDonagh is among those who believe Nisman was silenced by those he was investigating (it has never been officially ruled whether Nisman\u2019s death was the result of murder or suicide).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf Nisman hadn\u2019t been on to something, they would not have killed him,\u201d McDonagh said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kirchner, who left office in December 2015, is already facing corruption charges in a number of other cases. However, McDonagh said, \u201cthe Iran deal \u2014 and by implication having Nisman whacked \u2014 are another level of evil-doing altogether.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The only thing that could stop the investigation now would be an appeal to the Supreme Court. But, McDonagh said, \u201cI don\u2019t see the Supreme Court even being willing to hear such an appeal and if it did there\u2019s no way it\u2019s going to go, \u2018Hey, we don\u2019t think that the accusations made by a deceased fiscal general four days before he was found with a bullet in his head should be investigated.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

However, McDonagh cautioned, \u201cIn Argentina, we never get the full truth on anything, so I doubt if this will be an exception. Judge Ariel Lijo\u2019s name came out of the draw to lead the investigation, but another federal judge, Claudio Bonadio, might seek to have it assigned to him because he\u2019s investigating former Foreign Minister Timerman on closely-related treason charges. He\u2019d be a more energetic investigator than Lijo.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven if Lijo keeps the case, he won\u2019t be able to avoid ordering the 50 or so investigative measures requested by Nisman nearly two years ago and never carried out,\u201d McDonagh went on to say. \u201cThese including tracing the movements of cell phones belonging to the accused and checking the calls between them, also checking their movements in and out of the country, their tax records, etc. If he\u2019s feeling brave, he may even call Kirchner to testify. And the results of these measures will leak in due course.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
