A former agent of the Counter-Terrorism Unit of the National Intelligence Agency (ANI) She filed for protection after she was discharged a few weeks ago, according to the accusation, in an “arbitrary and illegal” manner.
According to the presentation filed with the Santiago Court of Appeals, the political scientist assures that her dismissal, signed by the director, Rear Admiral (r) Gustavo JordánShe overlooked the good grades and professionalism with which she was rated since 2011 on her resume.
The now exagente who worked for several divisions, including Operations and Intelligence relates a situation that occurred within the service bordering on teenage things or school bullying.
On October 24, 2019 -in the midst of the social outbreak- lThe former employee had finished her 24-hour shift, modality imposed by the previous head of the service, the lawyer Luis Masferrer.
Read the resource
According to the resource came to the fridge that ANI maintains for staff to store their food. Well, when the professional reviewed where her collation was, she discovered that one of her colleagues from the new team had “stolen” her.
According to the version stamped on the libel, he faced his colleague “Because in that minute she was tired (of) the disrespect (…) of her work group”.
The situation that occurred within an intelligence service became even more dense, after the same colleague “He recorded it unlawfully and without his consent in a private space”, wrote her sponsoring attorney Jacqueline Barahona. What private space and doing what? The resource does not make it explicit.
The former agent was denounced by the alleged food thief and an administrative summary was opened that ended on May 29, 2020, where she was sanctioned with 20% of her remuneration and a note of “demerit” on her resume.
The friends
The layoffs at the ANI occurred on May 29 last and affected at least 10 people, as revealed by the Research Unit of Radio Bío Bío.
The explanation that Jordan gave to the officials, not only did he reveal his decision to reorganize the service, but also the order of the Ministry of Finance to tighten the belt in the wake of the pandemic.
The departure of ANI officials also has another version. And it is that since Jordan arrived in late 2019, retired seafarers have had special treatment in terms of contracts, as well as ex-officers of the Army, FACh, Carabineros and PDI.
For example, the deputy director Allan Nettle, is a retired rear admiral and one of the last recruits, to assume the position of the coordinating agent in Punta Arenas, corresponds to a former classmate Jordán at the Naval School.
As this media revealed in early May, the call to fill the position was made in the newspaper El Pingüino de Punta Arenas, with a Cold War-style notice, tailored for a frigate captain (r) to postulate that neither it didn’t even meet the requirements.
ANI v/s Sename
However, since Jordan’s arrival to the post, the ANI has been in the media headlines from time to time.
The last was a controversial agreement with the National Service for Minors to access information on young people interned in the agency’s foster homes. The ANI’s idea was to obtain profile data and criminogenic contamination for analysis.
The truth is the leak of the will agreement it had an adverse effect, because the Ministry of Justice chose to annul it and the director of Sename had to resign her position.
ANI currently has other agreements, for example, with the Financial Analysis Unit (UAF), the Internal Revenue Service (SII), Customs and Gendarmerie.
Layoffs
Since the last layoffs occurred in late May, this is the first remedy of protection against the civil espionage agency. It is not ruled out that, with the passing of days, other exagents follow the same path.
In mid-2019, the then coordinating agent in Araucanía – also untied by former director Luis Masferrer – decided to file a legal action with the Santiago Court of Appeals, alluding to the fact that by virtue of his good grades the dismissal became illegal.
Both the capital’s appeals court, as well as the Supreme Court, agreed with him. Specifically, he was rehired. However, in the last departure of agency personnel, he was again fired.
