Argentinian prosecutors drop case against Cristina Fernández de Kirchner

Argentinian prosecutors drop case against Cristina Fernández de Kirchner
Associated Press in Buenos Aires
Tuesday 21 April 2015 01.46 BST
An Argentinian prosecutor has dismissed accusations against President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner that she helped shield Iranian officials allegedly behind the 1994 bombing of a Jewish centre – effectively putting an end to a case that had exposed deep divisions in the country.
Javier De Luca, prosecutor before the court of appeals, said there was not enough evidence in late prosecutor Alberto Nisman’s investigation to warrant a probe.
“There has been no crime,” De Luca wrote in his decision, echoing two previous court decisions.
The case was rejected by a federal judge in February and then thrown out on appeal by the federal appeals court. De Luca’s decision not to present the case to the next level of appeals court means it has effectively reached the end of the line.
