On October 25, 2006, prosecutors Martínez Burgos and Nisman signed a lengthy report in which they stated that the progress of the investigation up to that point allowed them to conclude, firstly, that “the Lebanese citizen and member of Hezbollah, Ibrahim Hussein Berro, was the one who drove the Renault Trafic vehicle that on July 18, 1994 exploded in front of the AMIA headquarters, immolating himself in the act” 24. Secondly, the prosecutors assured that “the responsibility for the attack on the AMIA headquarters rests on those who, at that time, exercised the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran […] its highest authorities at that time were the ones who made the decision to carry it out, they diagrammed its implementation, and entrusted its execution to the terrorist organization Hezbollah, the latter group that […] was in charge of the final phase of the operation that took place on July 18, 1994”25. 72. In the same report dated October 25, 2006, the intervening prosecutors requested the international arrest of eight individuals, seven of Iranian nationality and one national of the Lebanese Republic, which were granted by the investigating judge.

On July 9, 2009, the judge in charge of the case ordered the national and international arrest of El Reda and INTERPOL issued a red notice against him28. 74. On January 27, 2013, in the city of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the governments of the Argentine Republic and the Islamic Republic of Iran signed a Memorandum of Understanding “on the issues related to the terrorist attack on the AMIA headquarters in Buenos Aires on July 18, 1994”. The memorandum provided for the creation of a Truth Commission composed of international jurists and representatives of Argentina and Iran, with the mandate to analyze the information presented by the authorities of both countries (art 1). Subsequently, the Truth Commission had to "issue a report with recommendations on how to proceed with the case" (art 4). The memorandum also established that the Truth Commission "and the Argentine and Iranian judicial authorities would meet in Tehran to proceed to interrogate those persons for whom Interpol has issued a red notice" (art 5). 75. The Memorandum of Understanding was approved by the Argentine Congress by Law 26.843 dated March 1, 201329. Said law was declared unconstitutional by Chamber I of the Federal Criminal and Correctional Chamber. The decision became res judicata in December 2015.
