On Monday, the Argentine Intelligence Agency (AFI) handed over 500 files, allegedly containing evidence that the government of former President Mauricio Macri, was spying on about 400 journalists and about 100 other people, according to the official news agency Tilam.
The complaint was submitted, Cristina Camano, who was commissioned by the government of President Alberto Fernandez to conduct an audit of the work of the intelligence agency.
The Macri government (2015-2019) is suspected of using the agency to spy on journalists, including international journalists, in connection with the credits of the G20 and WTO summits held in Buenos Aires in recent years.
It is suspected that the Macri government was also spying on politicians, civil society leaders, academics and businessmen.
It is reported that the government was searching for information about their political affiliations and attitudes on social issues, such as abortion.
McCurry, the conservative, lost the election in 2019 in which the leftist Fernandez won, amid a widespread economic crisis.
