At the same time, Casanello demanded at that time from the General Secretariat of the Presidency the lines placed for the use of private secretaries among a list of names about which they requested information.
Likewise, he requested that the wiretapping office, which depends on the Supreme Court of Justice, undertake the work with “the greatest urgency.”
