Colombia’s Supreme Court raided the army after an anonymous spying tip triggered a preliminary investigation against former President Alvaro Uribe, Noticias Uno reported Sunday.

The tip contained information on the exact locations from where the army was carrying out illegal spying and the army officials who would be willing to testify.

Magistrate Cristina Lombana, a former army major, ordered the raid of these locations on December 18 amid suspicions that magistrate Cesar Reyes, who is investigating Uribe on fraud and bribery charges, is the victim of illegal spying.
