Last weekend, Semana news magazine revealed that some agents at the Administrative Security Department (DAS for its Spanish initials), Colombia's "secret police," had been illegally wire tapping politicians, journalists, magistrates, intellectuals, and —this time— even government officials close to President Álvaro Uribe, including his private and legal secretaries, and an official from his personal security staff.
El pasado fin de semana, la revista Semana reveló que algunos agentes del Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad (DAS), la “policía secreta” de Colombia, había estado realizando interceptaciones telefónicas a políticos, periodistas, magistrados, intelectuales e incluso funcionarios de gobierno cercanos al presidente Álvaro Uribe, incluidos sus secretarios privados y legales, y a un funcionario de su equipo de seguridad personal.
