The plot of macrista espionage continues adding increasingly controversial chapters. This week a former agent of the Federal Intelligence Agency gave an interview in which he confirmed a chilling fact: he had the order to steal the cell phone of a journalist from this magazine to find out which sources he was talking to. This is former agent Leandro Araque, who worked at the AFI during the management of Gustavo Arribas and Silvia Majdalani and was part of the illegal espionage group known as the “Mario Bros” gang. During a report on the news channel C5N, Araque affirmed that Alan Ruiz, the director responsible for this team of agents, had told him that he had to steal this reporter’s cell phone.
Journalist: Have you ever been given a manifestly illegal order?
Leandro Araque: Yes, at the time, the then director Alan Ruiz wanted us to steal the cell phone from Rodis Recalt, the journalist.
Journalist: And they did?
Araque: No, what’s more, we mentioned it to the deputy director of the Agency (Silvia Majdalani) in the first meeting we had that she called us
Journalist: And what happened?
Araque: Any. We were separated from the rest of the group and Ruiz continued.
At this point, the former agent slips that they, for raising objections to the orders they received, were removed from their tasks.
Araque’s attitude is not new and is in line with the latest statements by other spies such as Diego Dalmau Pereyra, the former counterintelligence boss, who confirmed that the AFI leadership was aware of the operations carried out by this group of spies. .
Dalmau Pereyra is joined by Jorge Saez, another former member of the Mario Bros gang, who said: “When we were prisoners, he (for Dalmau Pereyra), in the dungeon, said: ‘Silvia doesn’t touch’”. These words did not please Saez, who replied: ‘You don’t touch what, brother? Do you think that I’m going to eat fifteen years for this old lady? If you’re afraid of him, it’s your problem’”. Saez had gone to testify the following day that Dalmau Pereyra’s statement in Congress. “Today I have to celebrate the decision that Diego Dalmau Pereyra made yesterday to take charge and say: ‘Gentlemen, it was Silvia’.
The espionage to NOTICIAS began in the days after the publication of a note on the Federal Intelligence Agency in which details of the changes in the leadership of the AFI were revealed. In other words, the monitoring and attempted theft of the cell phone was related to journalistic work.
