In the defense made in a Whatsapp group by the agent of the National Anti-Drug Secretariat Carlos Chamorro, who after learning of his million-dollar acquisitions that do not match his income, was removed from the Sensitive Intelligence Unit (SIU), he also states that the ” The leader” of that agency knew of his intention to purchase a US$65,000 truck and warned him of a big scandal. It is known that the director of SIU is Daniel Fernández, and Chamorro was considered one of his most pampered loyalists, which suggests a kind of complicity on the part of the institution’s senior leaders who turned a blind eye to luxuries with dubious origin that happened to experience the subaltern.

The leaked chat of the special agent Carlos Francisco Chamorro Portillo indicates how the authorities of the National Anti-drug Secretariat (Senad) were aware of his economic rise, a contrast taking into account his modest start in the public service and the monthly salary that both he and his wife Natalia Berenicce Bareiro receive, both at the service of the Sensitive Intelligence Unit (SIU) as heads of high-profile investigations and handling of confidential data.
SIU/Senad Director, Special Agent Daniel Antonio Fernandez Avalosand other superiors such as the General Director of Intelligence, Mauro Ruiz Díaz, and the Minister herself Zully Rolón They watched as Chamorro flaunted his luxuries. The questioned investigator had a patrimonial increase of 700% in relation to the data consigned in his first affidavit presented before the Comptroller General of the Republic. This exponential increase in assets coincidentally happened in the last four years, when anti-narcotics intelligence work began that led to A Ultranza Py, by the way, an operation whose investigations suffered a series of leaks to the big shots who were under investigation.
This revelation of La Nación Investiga’s extraordinary financial prosperity and the expulsion of the sensitive SIU unit led him to make a suggestive release message in a Whatsapp group among co-workers where he declared a “political, social and labor” war within the institution. But while the situation in Senad becomes uncontrollable and anti-drug investigators are more focused on their own internal battles than on their State missions, Minister Rolón is more concerned with intimidating the media so that the names of questioned agents are not revealed. specials.

EARTHQUAKE
The Chamorro’s threatening message leaked from a WhatsApp groupwhere select intelligence agents are, refers to the fact that the head or leader of the SIU/Senad knew of his intentions to buy a luxurious van and denotes internal corporatism about a highly suspicious transaction when compared with his real income as a special agent. The head of the SIU is Daniel Fernández, and Chamorro is considered one of his most pampered loyalists.
“The team leader, who had told me ‘don’t buy that truck,’ told me because he already imagined the earthquake it could cause and I preferred to listen to my wife,” says Chamorro, one of Fernández’s favorites. who is the head of the SIU, and who in turn answers to the general director Ruiz Díaz, a trusted man of Minister Rolón.
With the leaked message it is revealed that the director of the SIU, Fernández, was more concerned about the reaction of the Senad officials and the public scandal over the dubious purchase than the origin of the US$ 65,000 in the pocket of a subordinate with income that until July 2022 did not reach the G 7 million to fulfill his wife’s wish.
In addition, an important fact to point out is that the director of the SIU/Senad who turned a blind eye to the luxuries of his protégé is the same one who sent the intelligence reports of A Ultranza Py to the Public Ministry and in which he also participated Chamorro. This operation had a series of leaks, since the narco structure presumably led by Sebastián Marset and Miguel “Tío Rico” Insfrán was warned of drug interception operations, movements and wiretapping. In fact, both bosses are still fugitives from Justice.
Let us also remember that the Brazilians Lindomar Reges Furtado and Marcus Vinicius Espíndola Marques de Padua (linked to the former anti-drug and Interior Minister Arnaldo Giuzzio) do not appear in the SIU intelligence report sent to the Public Ministry, since these alleged drug traffickers rarely did not enter on the radar of the Senad, but the police who carried out a short follow-up to Marset recorded meetings and established a connection between the Uruguayan and Lindomar, according to documents from Operation Smart.
ALL ARE COVERED
Returning to the leaked chat of special agent Chamorro, who was expelled from the SIU after publications about his meteoric rise in wealth, in the midst of his declaration of internal war, he points out that out of “respect” he will not air the “ky’a rags” (dirty rags, alluding to alleged irregularities of other Senad officials) as they probe him.
Likewise, it refers to “I have already collected solid evidence about the person who devised and the group of people who supported this media campaign”, a very serious mention considering the investigative resources that the agent manages and that suggests the discretionary use of intelligence systems to personal purposes and not precisely for the State.
“I swear by God and the country that I will use all my humble intellectual and operational capacity to take sides in all this that I did not start and I will give my life if necessary,” the message says.
“I will not rest until I achieve the banishment of all of you on the path of good and as the first action in this internal war,” says another part of his release via WhatsApp.
All this sufficiently reveals that the administration of Zully Rolón collapses in the Senate, and exercises zero control over the special agents who show an excess of their functions, putting at risk the constitutional guarantee of privacy and intimacy and the internal security of the Republic itself. .
