Investigation to continue

The Argentine prosecutor who inherited a major case against President Cristina Fernandez has reaffirmed the accusations, formally renewing the investigation into whether she helped Iranian officials cover up their alleged role in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community centre.

Gerardo Pollicita's decision to go forward with the case is significant because it sets the stage for a close examination of the investigation that Alberto Nisman, prosecutor, was building before he was found dead on January 18.

The next day, Nisman was scheduled to elaborate his accusations to Congress.

A senior government official called the Pollicita's decision the advance the case a "judicial coup".
