Salvadorian authorities are investigating on Wednesday an espionage operation against officials, after monitoring rquipment was found in Government Minister Humberto Centeno”s office.
In a press conference in this capital, Centeno denounced that a radio link was placed in his office and it seemed like it was transmitting the information received by several hidden microphones.
“It is relevant to the Attorney General’s Office to determine who placed the transmitting device and the microphones,” said the minister, and announced that he would show the devices found in the office to the press on Wednesday.
Centeno also requested that the Attorney General’s Office investigate the people related to the previous Government minister’s office.
A few days ago Farabundo Marti national Liberation Front (FMLN) Communication Secretary Sigfrido Reyes denounced a political espionage plot on a large scale to keep the new ministers under control.
According to Reyes, the operation also covered other state offices, although he did not give further details.
“It seems that the objective was to keep the new government under surveillance, with cameras, microphones and a secret machine that we do not know to whom it answers, but it does seem something serious that we have to investigate,” said Reyes.
