Mariano González on links with "El Español": "Intelligence Commission must open proceedings against Cordero"

Mariano Gonzalez He was Minister of the Interior in the government of Pedro Castillohelped the Public ministry to form the special team in charge of the colonel of the PNP Harvey Quilteda fact that cost him the position days later.

Does this investigation into “El Español” surprise you?

No, because I was the first person to alert what was happening in the sector. For example, I found officer Casanova, one of the people who is part of this group, as head of the Digimin, and I removed him to put General César Vallejo Mori. I also removed the attachment to put Harvey Colchado. The special team has determined that Castillo turned to a parallel group to do counterintelligence and to take care of some uncomfortable people for Pedro Castillo.

Do you think that this parallel group was already armed when you arrived at Interior?

I think there was progress and they wanted to take over the intelligence system, at least in the Interior sector. By separating those people, the discomfort of Castillo and his henchmen detonated. Castillo is a traitor, he tried to be a Vladimiro Montesinos.

Was “El Español” an old acquaintance for the PNP?

Many people have pointed out that “El Español” has been in force in the PNP for a long time, even before Castillo. The man is linked to groups of people who offer possession defense work, that is, they provide security services to people linked to land trafficking.

Peru21 revealed a photograph of “El Español” next to today’s PNP commander Raúl Alfaro.

He had the greatest respect for Raúl Alfaro, the current commanding general of the PNP. However, given the forcefulness of the arguments of the special team, I believe that it deserves a more responsible response, both from the PNP and from the Ministry of the Interior. Let’s not forget that a series of procedures have been carried out ranging from arrest to the seizure of cell phones and other digital devices. These cell phones will surely demonstrate whether or not there was permanent, last, and recent communication with authorities, including high-ranking officers of the PNP.

There is also talk of the participation of Congressman Cordero from Fuerza Popular.

Cordero was secretary of the Intelligence Commission, he was not just any congressman. The members of that commission are renewed every five years because it is a sensitive commission; has a special oath, they deal with classified national security information. The Intelligence Commission must carry out a special procedure against Cordero to see what the implication is and how it affects the Commission and the entire intelligence system of our country. It would also be necessary to evaluate what kind of coordination Cordero had with people from his party and with people from the Intelligence Commission.
