Overview
- Sala I of the Buenos Aires Federal Court, with judges Mariano Llorens and Martín Irurzun, upheld Judge Daniel Rafecas’s application of Law 27.784 and rejected constitutional challenges from the defense.
- Those named include former Iranian officials Alí Fallahijan, Alí Akbar Velayati, Mohsen Rezai, Ahmad Vahidi, Hadi Soleimanpour, Mohsen Rabbani and Ahmad Reza Asghari, along with Lebanese suspects Salman Raouf Salman, Abdallah Salman and Hussein Mounir Mouzannar.
- The court instructed the AMIA prosecutor’s office to file formal requests for procesamiento so the case can be elevated toward a public oral trial.
- Interpol red notices and international arrest warrants remain in force, the suspects are fugitives, and Iran has refused extradition.
- Defense objections centered on retroactivity and due‑process rights, while the court called the mechanism exceptional and constitutional and ordered robust notification via diplomatic and consular channels.
