Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman, the man who officially accused high ranking government officials of covering up an Iranian connection to the 1994 car bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires, had drafted an arrest warrant for President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner before his death on Jan. 19.

Viviana Fein, the lead investigator on the Nisman case, has said she found the draft in a trash bin in Nisman's apartment complex, BBC reports. Fein informed a local radio station on Tuesday that the draft warrant was "on file." She also clarified as "erroneous" a previously made statement from her office that said that no such draft had been found.

The draft was published on Monday by an Opposition party newspaper called Clarin.

According to BBC, the government is dismissing the report as "garbage."

The document, which requested the arrest of both Fernandez de Kirchner and Foreign Minister Hector Timerman, is dated from June 2014. The 300-page report submitted by Nisman to a federal court just days prior to his death did not include the document.

Investigators involved in the mysterious death have yet to establish if Nisman killed himself or was murdered.

Before he was found with a bullet in his head, Nisman was due to testify in Congress against Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. President Fernandez has denied the Nisman's allegations that she helped to cover up an Iranian connection to the bombing and that Iran had any role in the attack that left 85 people dead.

The president and the foreign minister currently have immunity as members of the executive.
Under current Argentine law, they could only be arrested if Congress first lifted this immunity.

Last week the president suggested that rogue elements in Argentina's intelligence service might have given Nisman false information and manipulated him. She has announced her plans to dismantle the Intelligence Secretariat.
