Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong said he had asked the CISEN intelligence agency and federal police to conduct an "exhaustive" investigation to see whether such spying took place and whether any Mexican officials were complicit.
Mexican
President Enrique Peña Nieto ordered an "exhaustive" probe into claims
that the National Security Agency, headquartered close to the US
capital, hacked his emails while he was running for office last year.
Mr. Peña Nieto also alleged that former president Felipe Calderon had
been subjected to US eavesdropping while in office.
The
Mexican Foreign Ministry condemned the new evidence of alleged spying
over the country’s officials by US intelligence. France is also
demanding explanations after a report that the US NSA secretly recorded
millions of phone calls made in the country, its interior minister said
Monday.
"The
Mexican government strongly condemns the spying practice over
communication tools and internet activity of the country’s state
agencies and its citizens," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. It
added that such cases were completely unacceptable, unlawful and
contrary to international legislation.
Thus
the Mexican Foreign Ministry reacted to an article published by
Germany’s Spiegel magazine. The publication says NSA "has been spying
the email of Mexican ex-president Felipe Calderon (2006-2012) and the
correspondence of several cabinet officials."
