Govt defends dismantling DAS

The minister appeared before a Senate commission to answer questions about the planned dismantling of the agency.

In the end, the current secret police will not cease to exist, but only handle “strategic intelligence” work.

The minister denied the dismantling of the DAS would hamper investigations against officials suspected of carrying out illegal spying activities, drug trafficking and links to paramilitary death squads.
