DIFFERENT ANGLE by Kenneth Rijock
The Executive Committee of INTERPOL, the international police organisation, has unanimously affirmed its report on the authenticity of materials contained in computers seized by the Armed Forces of Colombia from the FARC. The Committee, having reviewed the agency's extensive forensic report on the FARC computers and hardware, "endorsed the Report and its findings in their entirety." The statement came after Interpol's two-day meeting of the Executive Committee at the Interpol General Secretariat Headquarters in Lyon, France, and was released on 25 June, 2008.
- Politics played no role whatsoever in INTERPOL's determination that the eight computer exhibits seized by Colombia came from a FARC camp and had belonged to Raul Reyes, and that the user files contained therein were not altered, modified or tampered with by Colombian authorities.
- We find very unfortunate the criticisms and personal attacks against INTERPOL made by Ecuadorian and Venezuelan government officials.
Those compliance officers who originally failed to adjust risk for Venezuela and Ecuador, due to the release of evidence contained in the computers linking the governments of both countries to the FARC, would be well advised to raise country risk at this time.
