Federal Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita has requested to investigate President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman in the case that looks into the alleged cover-up of Iran's role in the 1994 AMIA bombing.
Pollicita presented a 61-page report before Judge Daniel Rafefas, giving green light to the complaint first filed by now late AMIA special prosecutor Alberto Nisman.
On January 14, Nisman shocked the political world when he filed a complaint against Fernández de Kirchner, her Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman, La Cámpora youth organization lawmaker Andrés “Cuervo” Larroque, former Kirchnerite official Luis D’Elía and Quebracho ultra-nationalist organization head Fernando Esteche.
Nisman also accused former judge Héctor Yrimia and Ramón Allan Héctor Bogado of being intelligence agents working for the Kirchnerite administration and Jorge Khalil of being the link with Tehran in Buenos Aires.

Alberto Nisman was investigating the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires, in which 85 people died.
He was put in charge of the probe in 2004 by the then-President Nestor Kirchner, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's late husband.
Mr Nisman was chosen to head the investigation after the previous investigation, led by judge Juan Jose Galeano, collapsed.
A car bomb exploded outside the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (Amia) on 18 July 1994.
The seven-storey building collapsed and 85 people were killed.
It was Argentina's deadliest terrorist attack.

Nisman, who was investigating Argentina’s response to the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center, was probing whether Iran's alleged involvement in the deal was covered up in exchange for favorable oil deals. He died one day before he was due to testify on the matter.
Argentine investigators say they’ve unearthed a draft of a warrant seeking the president’s arrest.
Investigators initially said the death was a suicide, before announcing later they were considering the possibility of a homicide. Nisman was reportedly found shot in the head with a pistol in his hand. Authorities say there was no sign of a struggle or intruders, ProPublica reported.
After Nisman’s death, Kirchner disbanded the intelligence service and announced plans to reform it with a new agency. She also said she was certain Nisman’s death was not a suicide, but that he was murdered by a conspiracy of former intelligence agents in order to discredit her, Reuters reported.
The other official implicated by the warrant is Foreign Minister Hector Timerman, who denied allegations that he discussed the possibility of absolving suspects in talks with Tehran. "I don’t have to prove my history. It is there for you to look at. I don’t need to prove that I support the defense of human rights. The same with my government. So it is ridiculous to think I put forward a deal, an economic deal, to forget about the case," he told The Washington Post in an interview on Tuesday.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights is a human rights monitoring and advocacy group. It has previously investigated several high-profile incidents in the area, including a series of murders in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico and the suppression of democracy in Venezuela.
