200. As indicated by TOF-2’s May 2019 judgment, on July 5, 1996 “Carlos Alberto Telleldín, after receiving a
telephone call from his partner Ana Maria Boragni, who let him know of the success of the first payment,
provided -as agreed with Juan Jose Galeano- a new statement in the proceedings […] on the occasion, he offered
a version of the events different from the previous ones, indicating that on July 10, 1994 he delivered the Trafic
van -whose engine was found among the rubble of the AMIA headquarters- to personnel from the Police of the
Province of Buenos Aires, more precisely from the Lanús and Vicente López Brigades”193.
201. Telleldín's statement of July 5, 1996, together with those provided by some people from his inner circle
in the following days, formed the basis of the accusation constructed by Galeano against the Buenos Aires police
officers Juan Jose Ribelli, Raúl Edilio Ibarra, Anastasio Irineo Leal, and Mario Norberto Barreto. The
aforementioned officers were detained, investigated, and finally, on July 31, 1996, prosecuted as essential
participants in the attack194. In February 2000, Judge Galeano brought the case against Telleldín and the police
officers to oral proceedings, accused of being part of the so-called “local connection” of the attack.
202. The Federal Oral Criminal Court 3, by virtue of the irregularities set forth throughout this chapter summarized in the press release attached to the judgment dated October 29, 2004- declared the nullity of all
the proceedings from the beginning of the investigation against the Buenos Aires police officers and ordered
that testimonies be extracted in order to investigate the criminal responsibility of a series of people who
participated in the investigatory phase, including Judge Galeano and various officials of the judiciary, police,
the SIDE, and the Executive branch195.
203. Finally, it should be noted that, in order to “give a complete response to the legitimate expectations of
knowing the truth of what happened, brought into this debate by the victims and by society,”196 the TOF 3
carried out a broad analysis of the existing evidence on file. Within the framework of this task, the court reached
the conclusion that "it has not been proven that on July 10, 1994 [...] or on any other date, Carlos Alberto
Telleldín handed over any Renault Trafic van to the accused former Buenos Aires policemen"197 and reiterated
that “the statement provided by Telleldín on July 5, 1996, in which he formally introduces the accusation
against the former Buenos Aires policemen for the attack, was the result of the simultaneous payment made by
State representatives with the undeniable intervention of the instructing judge, Dr. Juan José Galeano”198.
-Commission’s Considerations
204. The Commission observes that during the investigation conducted by Federal Criminal Court No. 9, at
least two serious irregularities occurred.
205. First of all, the Commission notes - in line with the statements reviewed at the national level - that as of
1995 the officials in charge of conducting the investigation allowed and facilitated that third parties not directly
linked to the judicial investigation met Carlos Telleldín , who up to that moment was the only detainee charged
with having participated in the attack on the AMIA.
206. The State did not prove that these informal meetings were foreseen in any procedural norm in force at
that time. Likewise, these meetings were carried out by state actors -as Judge Riva Aramayo was at that timeor by people who either identified themselves as agents of the intelligence services, as in the case of Daniel
