The former Minister of the Interior also assured that he did not find it “loyal” on the part of Carolina Ache to record the conversation with former Foreign Minister Francisco Bustillo.
The senator of National Party and former Minister of the Interior, Luis Alberto Heberassured that, after his resignation due to the leak of conversations between Carolina Ache and Guillermo Maciel and the scandal over the scandal arising from the delivery of the passport to the drug trafficker Sebastian Marset“with Monday’s newspaper” it was an error of judgment to have underestimated the importance of WhatsApp chats.
The politician assured that there was an error in judgment regarding the importance of the chats WhatsApp in the case, who assured that there was no concealment from Parliament since the chats, in his judgment, “were irrelevant.”
“Maciel, who is a man honored and very correct, he wrote to Ache to try to speed up the issue, so that we would have the information as soon as possible, to know if marset Whether he was in prison or not, because it was the information that the Drug Directorate was asking for. We were not doing an investigation because we did not have any requirements from Marset, there are no complaints against Marset here,” he explained on the Informal Breakfast program.
Meanwhile, Heber referred to the way in which Maciel demands that ache let him hurry up. “The way, what Maciel tells Ache is to make him hurry, to make him realize the dimension, to make him aware that we are not asking for someone who lost his passport or by someone who has a complicated situation in the Emirates,” Heber established.
“That chat is a warning to Carolina not to take this issue lightly or to send the secretary to find out, but rather to take care of the matter. It is irrelevant what Maciel has to say to Carolina. The information that we had to give to Parliament is that indeed Maciel contacted the Foreign Ministry to find out if Marset was in prison,” he added.
Between the “error of judgment” and the lack of loyalty for recording
After what happened, Heber admitted that there was a mistake in considering the conversations between Maciel and Ache. “We did not find the way in which Maciel communicates important. That, today with Monday’s newspaper, can we consider it an error? Yes, it was an error of judgment at the time,” he stated.
For his part, he referred to the attitude of the former vice chancellor when recording the conversation with Maciel. “It seemed horrible to me that a conversation of a personal nature had been recorded between people who work together in the government. It is as if Maciel recorded one of the thousands of difficult conversations we have had about the ministry. He doesn’t seem loyal to me”, he stated.
