Colombia’s Prosecutor General’s Office was raided by the Inspector General’s Office on Tuesday amid an investigation into illegal wiretapping practices.

According to newspaper El Espectador, a judge ordered the Inspector General’s Office to search the offices of two prosecutors accused of illegal wiretapping.

The wiretapping was allegedly carried out by two prosecutors implicated in the Odebrecht bribery scandal.

The two prosecutors, Daniel Hernandez and Alvaro Betancur, were previously accused by special prosecutor Leonardo Espinosa of purposely not investigating the laundering of money related to the bribery of Senator Otto Bula.
