‘Uribe should respond to wiretapping scandal’: former spy

‘Uribe should respond to wiretapping scandal’: former spy
Jul 7, 2014 posted by Daniel Medendorp Escobar



A former spy for Colombia’s ex-intelligence agency and key witness in a wiretapping scandal with respect to the Supreme Court, stated in an interview on Monday that former President Alvaro Uribe should “respond” for his role in the scandal.

In an interview with Bogota-based radio station La FM, Alba Luz Florez stated that all the information that she collected while working for Colombia’s now-defunct intelligence agency, DAS, went directly to the president’s office, but she didn’t say whether or not Uribe was directly involved.

“The president congratulated me on one of my recordings, so I’d assume that he knew something,” she told La FM.

When asked who else above ex-Secretary General Bernardo Moreno – who was already banned from office by the Inspector General – should respond to the DAS wiretapping scandal, she mentioned that ex-President and Senator-elect Alvaro Uribe would be the primary candidate.
