Julian Martinez, an investigative journalist who revealed possible links between Colombia’s President Ivan Duque Marquez and drug traffickers, said they are being spied on by authorities.
Last January, the weekly Semana revealed that army intelligence had been illegally intercepting the communications of dozens of foreign and Colombian journalists, Supreme Court justices, and opposition politicians.
The government promised a thorough investigation against those they describe as bad apples among the military but have so far rejected calls for reform.
