Fury and condemnation were the first reactions of legislative leaders in the Chamber of Deputies after the newspaper La Nación revealed that the spy agency headed by Sergio Neiffert produces “internal consumption reports” on their activities, in addition to those targeting groups such as retirees, people with disabilities, and everyone except the ruling party.

The main complaint is that it conducts these activities outside the current legal framework for surveillance and control of internal security.

Thus, the SIDE, revived thanks to a decree by Javier Milei and abundantly funded, once again appears to be implicated in an allegation of illegal spying.

Senator Martín Lousteau, head of the Bicameral Intelligence Commission, told PaginaI12 that they will urgently intervene in response to the release of another document implicating the SIDE in illegal espionage, and plans to summon Neiffert to a hearing.

Radical Civic Union legislator Pablo Juliano announced that he is seeking to coordinate with the rest of the opposition blocs to move forward with a request for the interpellation of Neiffert, the spymaster and a man linked to presidential advisor Santiago Caputo, a member of the so-called Iron Triangle of Milei and her sister Karina. abo/arm/mem/mh
