BUENOS AIRES — An Argentine appellate court dismissed a criminal case Thursday against President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and her political supporters that accused them of conspiring to hide Iranian officials’ involvement in a bombing here in 1994.
Reiterating the harsh tone of a previous dismissal, a three-judge panel threw out the case, ruling that evidence presented by Alberto Nisman, the longtime lead investigator into the deadly attack on a Jewish community center, was too flimsy to open an investigation. Mr. Nisman made the accusations against Mrs. Kirchner in January, shortly before being found dead of a gunshot wound to the head.
