On February 16, 1990, a case of telephone tapping was uncovered when it was proven that a third person had impersonated Congressman Manuel Piqueras Luna in an interview broadcast by Radio Programas del Perú (RPP). This incident occurred in the context of the denunciations that the Izquierda Unida deputy had been making about paramilitary groups and his request to the UN Human Rights Commission to censure the Minister of the Interior for his probable links with the Rodrigo Franco Command. The case evidenced the existence of espionage and identity theft operations against political opponents during the APRA government.
