On September 4, 1990, the Senate of the Republic of Peru appointed an investigative commission in response to the denunciations presented by Congressman Fernando Olivera Vega two days earlier. Olivera Vega had presented recordings and transcriptions of conversations between politicians that had been intercepted by elements of the National Intelligence Service (SIN), constituting a case of telephone espionage. This commission was added to another investigative commission on paramilitary groups whose results had been presented in October 1989 by congressmen Manuel Piqueras Luna, Gustavo Espinoza Montesinos and Celso Sotomarino Chávez of the PPC.
