    Buenos Aires, 26 February 2015. In this Court Case No. 777/2015, styled: “Fernández de Kirchner Cristina y otros s/encubrimiento” [on cover-up] registered with Clerk’s Office No. 5 of this Court; Background These proceedings were initiated as a result of the accusation made on 14 January 2015, within the framework of Case No. 3446/2012, entitled “Velazco, Carlos Alfredo y otros por abuso de autoridad y violación de los deberes de funcionario público” [on abuse of authority and breach of the duties of public officials] —Court No. 4 in Federal Criminal and Correctional Matters for the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No. 8— by Alberto Nisman, General Prosecutor in charge of the Prosecutorial Investigation Unit dealing with the bombings of 18 July 1994 against the AMIA building. In his accusation, said Prosecutor informed about the existence of an alleged “criminal plan” purportedly intended to give impunity to the Iranian nationals accused in that case —who are fugitives since 2007— in order for them to be able to escape the investigation and be released from any measures taken by the Argentine courts with jurisdiction over the case. As stated in such accusation, the scheme was allegedly carried out by “high authorities of the Argentine federal government, with the cooperation of third parties, which entails a criminal action that constitutes, a priori, the following offences: aggravated cover-up, prevention or hindrance of the performance of official duties, and breach of the duties incumbent upon public officials (Sections 277 (1) and (3), 241 (2) and 248 of the Criminal Code).” Preliminary Considerations First, it bears noting that this Court is fully aware of the widespread and major — domestic and international— public and institutional repercussion of the accusation made by Alberto Nisman, in his capacity as General Prosecutor in charge of the Prosecutorial Investigation Unit dealing with the bombings of 18 July 1994 against the AMIA bombings, which has been the starting point of these proceedings.

  • Sogni Rubatirubati
    SogniSogni RubatiRubati © Di Jeff Hawkins, 2008. Tratto da http://counterfeitdreams.blogspot.com/ Traduzione in italiano © Simonetta Po per “Allarme Scientology” www.allarmescientology.it , 2009 Prefazione del traduttore Jeff Hawkins è stato staff della Chiesa di Scientology per 35 anni, la maggioranza dei quali in Sea Org. Per tutta la sua carriera si è occupato di promozione e marketing, ha tra l'altro lavorato, curato e diretto le riviste interne e ha progettato e lanciato alcune tra le campagne pubblicitarie di maggior successo della Chiesa di Scientology. Ha lavorato a Pubs WW a Edimburgo, partecipato al trasferimento a Copenhagen di quella che sarebbe diventata la New Era Publications, concluso la carriera a Golden Era Productions oltre a collaborazioni con Bridge Publications e ASI (Author Services Inc.) Il suo è un racconto dettagliato della vita di staff e mostra la schizofrenia delle decine e decine di organizzazioni Scientology, la loro farraginosa burocrazia, il complicato organigramma. Parla dell'indifferenza verso il vero merito del lavoro svolto, della follia delle "statistiche", di come venga premiata l'obbedienza piuttosto che la creatività e il buon senso, spesso messo da parte per compiacere i capi di turno. E di come, in definitiva, a vincere sia sempre l'ottusità, in quello che dovrebbe invece essere il regno per eccellenza della razionalità (caratteristica dell'Essere "chiarito" con la "tecnologia" di Hubbard) e dell'intelligenza al suo massimo livello. Ciononostante quello di Hawkins è un racconto pacato e sereno che non scade mai nel vittimismo, ma nemmeno nell'apologia. Con Hawkins si ripercorrono quattro decenni fondamentali per la storia della Chiesa di Scientology: gli anni della costituzione della Sea Org come organizzazione veramente "del mare", imbarcata sulla piccola flotta privata del "Commodoro".

  • Terrorism, Criminal Law and Politics
    Terrorism, Criminal Law and Politics Recent atrocities have ensured that terrorism and how to deal with terrorists legally and politically has been the subject of much discussion and debate on the international stage. This book presents a study of changes in the legal treatment of those perpetrating crimes of a political character over several decades. It most centrally deals with the political offence exception and how it has changed. The book looks at this change from an international perspective with a particular focus on the United States. Interdisciplinary in approach, it examines the fields of ter- rorism and political crime from legal, political science and criminological perspec- tives. It will be of interest to a broad range of academics and researchers, as well as to policymakers involved in creating new anti-terrorist policies. Julia Jansson holds a Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Helsinki, Finland. Transnational Criminal Justice The concept of ‘transnational criminal justice’ has frequently been interpreted in the academic literature as ‘international criminal justice’ or ‘global criminal justice.’ Many publications that use the term ‘transnational’ therefore discuss international criminal justice and international legal frameworks. Another form of study that has developed under the umbrella of transnationality in the field of criminal law is comparative. There has hence been a move from the terminology of ‘international,’ ‘global’ and ‘comparative’ criminal justice towards ‘transnational’ criminal justice. This series considers these developments, but focuses primarily on publica- tions that adhere to a more literal interpretation of the term ‘transnational.’ The aim of the series is to provide a forum for discussion of bilateral and multilat- eral relationships between nations in the field of criminal justice.
