Critics on Wednesday called for the resignation of Colombian presidential candidate Oscar Ivan Zuluaga after national TV said his campaign director tried to provide information obtained through illegal wiretapping.

RCN broadcast a video showing Zuluaga’s campaign director, Luis Alfonso Hoyos, entering the RCN headquarters with Andres Sepulveda, a campaign worker who was arrested on Tuesday for illegally wiretapping the communications of peace talks negotiation teams and, according to Colombia’s Prosecutor General, “probably” the president himself.

The network reported that Hoyos contacted RCN, offering to provide information about the leftist guerrilla organization FARC and president Juan Manuel Santos.

Hoyos then made an appointment with the network’s director, Rodrigo Pardo, and attended the meeting on April 8 with another man, whom Hoyos introduced as an intelligence expert.

RCN revealed on Wednesday that the individual accompanying Hoyos was Andres Sepulveda, the primary suspect in the investigation of the alleged illegal spying carried out in support of Zuluaga’s campaign.
