Peruvian Chancellor Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde telephoned his Chilean counterpart Mariano Fernandez, to explain him that Garcia's Government “
has absolutely nothing to do with” the alleged case of spionage to Chilean military.
Fernandez announced this to the media today, pointing out at the fact that, as Garcia Belaunde had explained, these events “took place in 2004, before President Alan García took office."
The Chilean Chancellor also said that Garcia Belaunde's explanation “sounds reasonable,” and that his government is at present waiting for the results of the investigations in Lima.
Chilean press had reported that the Peruvian security company Business Track, owned by the former Navy Officer Elias Ponce, had been spying on Chilean high-rank officers.
The Peruvian Ambassador in Santiago, Carlos Rios Young, contacted the Chilean Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, Alberto van Klaveren, to give Peru's official explanation on this matter.
