BUENOS AIRES—In a split-decision, an Argentine federal appeals court on Thursday rejected accusations that President Cristina Kirchner conspired with Iran to cover up its alleged role in a 1994 terrorist attack.
The three-judge appellate court ruled 2-to-1 to dismiss the case, which had been filed in January by Alberto Nisman, a prosecutor who was found dead just days after making the allegations. Two of the court’s judges said a lower court had been right to dismiss the accusations as baseless.
