Argentina's Spy Agency Regroups, Wins Back Power Under Macri
Published 22 July 2016

Spies from the Secretariat of Intelligence are recovering their posts and taking over of the newly-formed Argentine Federal Intelligence Agency.

The report follows claims that agents from the defunct Secretariat of Intelligence are recovering their posts and taking over the Federal Intelligence Agency.
