The former director of the CNI, Félix Sanz Roldán, has broken his silence to defend the intelligence service's actions during his tenure. In his statement, he assures that the complaint against Commissioner Villarejo is not a response to a personal conflict, but rather a need to protect the honor and legality of the operations of the National Intelligence Center.
The use of surveillance technology and its legal framework in secret services 🕵️
CNI operations rely on surveillance and data analysis systems that require judicial authorization. Sanz Roldán insists that each action followed established protocols. The technology used, from wiretapping to digital tracking, is always justified under the umbrella of current legislation. The debate centers on the limits of these tools when applied to citizens or other state bodies.
Revenge is a dish best served with a judicial report ⚖️
Sanz Roldán states that he reported Villarejo to clear the CNI's name, not due to personal grudges. One imagines the scene: the former spy calling his lawyer to prepare a complaint, but only to clean the institution's reputation, of course. No settling of scores. As if anyone believes there are no egos or resentments in the corridors of power. Honor comes first, especially when microphones are around.
