Panama’s Foreign Ministry says Colombia has asked it to extradite former Colombian intelligence chief Maria del Pilar Hurtado to face conspiracy, wiretapping and abuse of authority charges.
Hurtado headed Colombia’s DAS domestic intelligence agency in 2.007 and 2.008.
The agency was dissolved in October after it was caught spying on presidential foes, including judges, reporters and human rights activists, under former president Alvaro Uribe.
Uribe governed from 2.002 to 2.010 and has denied knowledge of the abuses.
Some DAS agents also colluded with bloody right-wing militias.
Hurtado obtained political asylum in Panama in 2.010 with Uribe’s help.
Panama said Wednesday it would weigh the extradition request.
