Juan Bautista Yofre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Juan Bautista 'Tata' Yofre is an Argentine journalist and writer, and a former politician and journalist.

Yofre was the Argentine Secretary of Intelligence from 1989 to 1990, in the early part of Carlos Menem's presidency.[1] He was replaced by Hugo Anzorreguy following constant accusations of corruption surrounding the Presidential environment. He later occupied positions as ambassador to Panama[2] and other countries.

In 2008 he was indicted on charges of espionage for using his Intelligence contacts for intercepting email messages from members of the government.[3][4][5] While the court found he had done so, he was later acquitted because those emails were not considered classified information.[6]
