Colombia's Supreme Court surrenders spying evidence to chief prosecutor
by Adriaan Alsema January 15, 2020
Colombia’s Supreme Court on Tuesday surrendered listening devices found in a magistrate’s office to the country’s acting chief prosecutor amid a growing spying scandal.
Magistrate Hector Alarcon met with acting Prosecutor General Fabio Espitia, who said he would lead the investigation into the alleged spying on magistrates who have been involved in investigations against former President Alvaro Uribe.
Following an inspection of the court’s office building, Espitia vowed to also inspect the homes and cars of Supreme Court magistrates for the possible presence of spying equipment.
The magistrates’ phones will be checked to see if wiretapping malware was installed, the acting chief prosecutor said.
