Argentina to put Iranians and Lebanese on trial in absentia over 1994 Jewish center bombing

  • Ten Iranian and Lebanese suspects will be tried in absentia for the 1994 bombing that killed 85 and injured over 300 at the Argentine Mutual Israelite Association in Buenos Aires, according to Argentine federal Judge Daniel Rafecas.
  • Judge Daniel Rafecas applied Argentina's new 'trial in absentia' law to the case, allowing trials for defendants who evade justice, according to reports by AFP and Perfil.
  • President Javier Milei spearheaded the legislative reform that legalized trials in absentia to prevent impunity for crimes against humanity.
  • If upheld, the oral proceedings for the trial are expected to begin within the year, setting a legal precedent for international terrorism cases where suspects are unreachable by domestic courts.
