by Adriaan Alsema May 11, 2020
Colombia’s defense minister said Sunday that the military will provide the prosecution with evidence against 13 of its members who allegedly took part in the illegal spying on journalists, NGO’s, politicians and top government officials.
In an interview with newspaper El Tiempo, Defense Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo said the military would surrender the results of a counterintelligence operation first thing on Monday.
The minister said he “assumed” the evidence would include that of the reported “profiling” of at least 130 civilians, including foreign correspondents and President Ivan Duque‘s former chief of staff.

Since January, Semana has revealed that the army began illegal wiretapping operations in part for Duque’s far-right Democratic Center Party and had been profiling targets that have nothing to do with national security.
