The Bogota Superior Tribunal extended on Thursday the existing arrest warrant against former DAS Director, Maria del Pilar Hurtado, to 12 months over illegal wiretapping, among other crimes.

In the judicial proceedings, Colombia’s Prosecutor General Viviane Morales sent an official letter to the Supreme Court of Justice to consider the possibility of requesting the extradition of the former director, who has found asylum living in Panama for the past year.

In mid May, Morales charged Pilar Hurtado with crimes of aggravated conspiracy, abuse of public office, unlawful violation of communications, and appropriation and embezzlement by falsifying a public document in the pursuit of tracking and illegally wiretapping judges, congressmen, journalists, and human rights defenders.

According to the judge, the former DAS director is a danger to society who is capable of obstructing the administration of justice.

Colombia’s intelligence agency DAS was dissolved last month after 58 years and dozens of scandals.
