Former Argentinian president accused of running secretive parallel state
Former Argentinian president Mauricio Macri
FORMER Argentinian president Mauricio Macri presided over a parallel secret state that spied on hundreds of MPs and social justice campaigners, Congress heard earlier this week.
“We have evidence that links former authorities and members of the Argentine judicial system in this espionage scandal,” Leopoldo Moreau, president of the bicameral commission for oversight and monitoring of intelligence agencies, said on Tuesday.
“Macri created a parallel, clandestine and secret state,” he told Argentinian legislators.
Mr Macri, who was defeated by Alberto Fernandez in the October 2019 presidential election, implemented “a systematic plan of illegal political espionage against over 370 people as a method of domination and extortion,” Mr Moreau alleged.
