Argentina’s Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI) has revealed details of espionage on journalists, academics and businessmen.
The Federal Intelligence Agency’s head, Cristina Cañamo, filed a complaint following the discovery of a hard drive with alleged evidence of illegal e-mail spying on various people. In Argentina, domestic espionage requires a judicial order.
AFI disclosed that more than 400 people were spied on during the previous government of Mauricio Macri in relation to the WTO and G20 summits organized by the South American country. This week, an Excel file was released to the media containing the names and, in some cases, notes on the political stance of the journalists.
