As a result of becoming aware of the case, executives who handle intelligence and strategic data have undertook exhaustive sweeps of their offices and other areas and salons where work meetings are held frequently. A source told the newspaper El Caribe that the revisions must be conducted in an extreme and meticulously manner, and because of the microphonesÂ’ diminutive size, are placed where they can be confused as a part of the lighting fixtures and other objects, going unnoticed.
