Wiretapping

Although the subject is partially known, reporter Julián F. Martínez, in this impressive investigation, manages to put into context—in addition to adding previously unknown data and rigorous documentation—one of the darkest periods in the country's political history. Beyond what were called "chuzadas" (illegal wiretaps), this book addresses other serious events such as espionage, threats, persecution, and assassinations.

"ChuzaDAS is a document that is part of the historical memory of one of the worst episodes of Colombia's intelligence services. It is a reference text where each of the assertions is substantiated with dates, supporting documents, and contextual data. This book is one of Julián F. Martínez's best works, as thanks to his exhaustive investigation, he demonstrates that, by order of the government in power, various journalists, magistrates, judges, and members of the political opposition at the time were intercepted. ChuzaDAS is and will undoubtedly be a reference book that examines how the way of governing should never be distorted or perverted to become persecution and espionage."
