The former Chief of Police of Colombias capital Bogota was arrested on Wednesday over his alleged role in an unfolding wiretap scandal.
Retired General Humberto Guatibonza is accused of requesting illegal wiretaps with a company formed by several former military officials and a hacker of Colombias Information Technology Ministry.

The 2008 DAS wiretap scandal revealed that the office of former President Alvaro Uribe was using now-defunct state intelligence agency DAS to illegally spy on the Supreme Court, rival politicians, journalists and human rights activists.
Colombias current Interior Minister Nancy Patricia Gutierrez, who was the president of the Senate at the time, was given illegally obtained intelligence information to discredit Senator Piedad Cordoba, a leftist opponent of Uribe.
