An Argentinean federal court has released a report explaining its acquittal of five men accused of complicity in the 1994 bombing of Buenos Aires’ main Jewish community center. 4,815 pages of documents were released last week. The report formally clears the way for a probe of irregularities in the investigation into the attack on the AMIA center, which killed 85 and wounded 300. The investigation was coordinated by federal judge Juan Jose Galeano.
The report concludes that Galeano was biased and his activity in the AMIA case 'was not guided toward discovering the real truth'. Galeano, who is to be investigated for misconduct including charges of bribing a witness, will only be one of those coming under investigation. Others include the former Home Affairs minister Carlos Corach, seven legislators on a special commission created to follow the case and the former president of the DAIA Jewish political umbrella group, Ruben Beraja.
