translated from Spanish: Argentine Supreme confirms the arrest warrant for Cristina Fernández… but the former President has jurisdiction

the Court Sup Rema justice argentina confirmed on Thursday the arrest warrant prepared by federal judge Claudio Bonadio against the former President Cristina Fernández de Kichner, by the alleged cover-up of the Iranians accused of the bombing of a Jewish mutual in 1994.
However, the resolution will not be effective given that the exmandataria has immunity, and it looks complex that the impeachment could thrive, due to the historical position of traditional peronism in the Congress of only removing the fueros when there is a final judgment. To remove him immunity, required the vote of two-thirds of the legislators.
Bonadio, who already leads other cases against Fernandez, called stop, among others, to the former President to consider that it can interfere with the case.
Also requested his arrest after processing it in the known as “cause of notebooks”, in which is investigating an alleged network of bribes between powerful businessmen and former officials of kirchnerism.
In its resolution today, the Supreme Court of Justice with the signing of five members unanimously rejected the complaint appeal filed by current Senator against the arrest warrant. The National Chamber of appeals in Criminal and Federal correction had already confirmed processing with pre-trial detention of the widow of the also former Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007), and was for this reason that she filed an extraordinary appeal to the Court.
The Supreme also rejected today a complaint presented by the former Chief of intelligence Oscar Parrilli, another of the defendants in the case.
The AMIA cause Fernández, head of State between 2007 and 2015, and several members of his Government and other partners are processed for alleged aggravated concealment, by means of a pact with Iran, of the citizens of that country accused of attacking a Jewish mutual in 1994 that left 85 dead and still go unpunished.
The judicial file was opened by the allegation made by Prosecutor Alberto Nisman in January 2015 against the previous Government, four days before appearing dead, shot in the head, in conditions that are still investigated in courts and that are running that the pro Curator was killed.
Nisman said that a pact signed between Argentina and Iran in 2013 to jointly investigate the attack sought to really cover up to the accused as suspects in the attack, including former Iranian President Akbar Alí Rafsanjani and announced Alí Akbar Velayati, to promote bilateral trade.
The attack on the AMIA Jewish community attributed to Iran and the Shiite group Hezbollah, was the second against Jews in Argentina, when 29 people were killed in 1992 by a bomb against the israeli Embassy, also unsolved.
