Telephone tapping reported
Congressman Fernando Olivera Vega denounced on September 2, 1990 the existence of telephone spying on politicians by the SIN, presenting intercepted recordings. The Senate formed an investigative commission two days later.
Congressman Fernando Olivera Vega presented before Congress recordings and transcriptions of conversations held between politicians that had been intercepted by elements of the National Intelligence Service (SIN). These interceptions constituted a kind of telephone espionage of political figures in the country. As a consequence of this denunciation, on September 4, the Senate appointed an investigative commission to investigate the case. This fact evidenced the use of state intelligence mechanisms to monitor and spy on members of the Peruvian political class.
