Mar 4, 2014 posted by Camilo Mejia Giraldo
A unit from Colombia’s Prosecutor General’s Office will examine President Juan Manuel Santos’ computers which were allegedly hacked by unknown parties who intercepted more than a thousand personal emails, local media reported on Tuesday.
As investigations into the allegedly illegal wiretapping by a Military Intelligence unit continue, the Prosecutor General’s forensics unit (CTI) will inspect Santos’ computer two weeks after the head of state claimed to have had over 1,000 personal and family emails intercepted, two of which had been leaked to El Tiempo newspaper and Semana magazine.
Preliminary information has indicated that the examination of the president’s computers were initiated to clarify the investigation and verify those responsible for the interceptions, Bogota radio station Santa Fe reported.
The Prosecutor General’s Office — through a Human Rights Unit — is conducting the examination of the president’s case with an additional request by Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon made to members of the international community to assist in the investigation, Caracol Radio reported.
Pinzon, who stated the case to be of “a delicate nature” has requested the assistance of Spain, France, Israel and South Korea in the case.
