Colombia’s prosecution launches investigation into bugging of Constitutional Court
by Jake Kincaid May 2, 2019

Colombia’s prosecutor general has launched an investigation into the possible eavesdropping of the Constitutional Court that complained about possible bugs and wiretaps earlier this week..

Colombia’s constitutional court said on Sunday it had been meeting in Club Nogal outside its normal offices citing suspicions that the court’s own offices are bugged and phone lines are being intercepted.

. . .

According to newspaper El Espectador, some magistrates believe that the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) could be implicated.

Several magistrates confirmed to the paper that they also believed their phone conversations were being leaked.
