Arrest warrant to be issued for former Colombian official

Prosecutors in Colombia plan to issue an arrest warrant for former intelligence director María del Pilar Hurtado, who is living in Panama.

Hurtado is accused of ordering illegal wiretaps while working under former President Álvaro Uribe, who served between 2002 and 2010.

Hurtado and her former colleague Bernardo Moreno will be charged with illegal interception of communications, abuse of public office and falsification of documents.

The pair allegedly ordered wiretaps involving magistrates, opposition politicians, human rights activists and journalists.
