230. On the other hand, the UFI AMIA reported the creation of the Special Documentary Survey and Analysis Group [Grupo Especial de Relevamiento y Análisis Documental] (GERAD) with the aim of identifying the documentation that is relevant for the investigation of the attack and, additionally, guaranteeing its analysis and its material accessibility to the parties in the proceedings222. Likewise, the UFI AMIA reported that various tasks were initiated to synthetize and systematize the evidence, manage the volumes of information that exist in the case, process and regularize the reserved files attached to the main cause, and explore channels of international cooperation, as well as maintain the international arrest warrant, among other issues223. The publication of the management reports by the UFI AMIA was discontinued in December 2017. The Argentine State did not present, within the framework of the processing of this case before the Commission, information that would allow it to know what activities were carried out from that date onwards. The petitioners informed the Commission that, in recent times, UFI AMIA has undergone various changes in the composition of its management team224. i) Regarding the conservation and handling of the organic material affected in the investigation and its use as evidence 231. In March 2016, Federal Court No. 6 ordered, at the request of UFI AMIA, that a scientific expert report be carried out in order to obtain the genetic profile of all the biological remains preserved in the Judicial Morgue and of those that were found in the PFA Chemical Laboratory Division. Likewise, the court ordered the crosschecking of all the genetic profiles that were extracted in order to "determine that all the samples in record correspond to some of the deceased persons." To make the work possible, the prosecutors summoned specialized personnel from the Forensic Medical Corps, the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, and the Genetic Footprints Laboratory of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry of the University of Buenos Aires225. 232. The UFI AMIA in its management report of July 2016 reported that the group of prosecutors who assumed the direction of the investigation in February 2015 proceeded, in the first place, to carry out an inspection of the Judicial Morgue “to personally check all the organic and other materials available to the investigation". As a result of this inspection, the prosecutors ordered the preparation of "a meticulous inventory of the organic material in the Morgue and the verification of the conditions of conservation and safekeeping" in order to "accurately determine the quantity and quality of the samples obtained at the time of the autopsies, in order to establish their suitability for an eventual analysis”226. 233. Likewise, on September 8, 2016, the Chemical Laboratory Division of the Argentine Federal Police informed the UFI AMIA of the existence, in its offices, of elements related to the investigation, among which was a red bucket with organic remains of victims, which was preserved inside a freezer. The UFI AMIA stated in its management report that said remains were fragments of frozen tissue placed inside a glass bottle, which was located inside the red bucket227. These test items had not been previously inventoried and had been in the PFA laboratory since August 1994. - Commission’s Considerations 234. The IACHR considers that both the absence of a precise record of the organic material related to the investigation - a situation evidenced by the discovery made in the Chemical Laboratory Division in September 2016 - and the lack of exploration, until 2016, of the possibilities that the analysis of said material could offer Annex 11.
