Argentine Judge Orders AMIA Bombing Suspects Tried in Absentia
27th June 2025
An Argentine federal judge Thursday ordered that the 10 Iranian and Lebanese suspects accused in the deadly 1994 AMIA bombing be tried in absentia, allowing the case to move forward after decades of legal stagnation.
The complaint, filed by the families of the victims of the bombing, asked Federal Judge Daniel Rafecas to apply Argentina’s new “trial in absentia” law in the AMIA case, an attack on a Jewish community center that left 85 people dead and 300 injured in what remains the deadliest terrorist attack on Argentine soil.
The request was submitted by attorney Tomás Farini Duggan on behalf of the families of victims Luis Czyzewski and Mario Averbuch.
Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.
