Lacalle’s secretary, Álvaro Delgado (right), admitted that “the Government is having a bad time” due to this case and “the full weight of the law must be brought”.
The analysis of hundreds of WhatsApp chats recovered from the cell phone of Alejandro Astesiano, the former personal custodian of Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou, continues to provide investigators with crucial material in an unprecedented court case in Uruguay's political history.
As reported by La Diaria, one of the conversations records the exchange between Astesiano and a retired Uruguayan military man, who speaks under the fictitious name of Andrés.
This Uruguayan is the executive director of the firm Vertical Skies, which presents itself on its website as a “global consulting firm” with operations in more than 50 countries.
Among its clients are firms and organizations such as Microsoft, the United Nations, the US Army, Interpol, the European Union, the Organization of American States (OAS), governments, and “more than 1,000 private sector clients”.
