Colombia investigates Santos email hacking
(AFP) – 5 hours ago
Bogota — Colombian prosecutors Monday opened an investigation after President Juan Manuel Santos said more than 1,000 of his personal emails had been hacked, as spying allegations mar peace talks with the FARC rebels.
Santos claimed unknown parties were trying to slander him ahead of the May presidential vote, accusing them of breaking into his own email account as well as those of his family.
Prosecutors said Monday they will probe whether the suspected hackers are linked to a special Colombian army intelligence unit accused of spying on its own government's negotiating team at peace talks with FARC rebels in Cuba.
Those talks resumed in Havana Monday, with the rebels expressing their "great mistrust" of the intelligence unit's alleged spy efforts, saying it also monitors the FARC.
