Customs Administration of the Republic of Macedonia today denied that it procures equipment for wiretapping.
“Regarding the information about the alleged procurement of equipment for wiretapping or for conducting special investigative measures mentioned in some media, the Customs Administration of the Republic of Macedonia informs that equipment for wiretapping is not currently procured nor procurement of such equipment is not included in the plans for the next three years, which have been prepared and submitted to the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Macedonia,” reads the statement.
“WikiLeaks” yesterday announced e-mails that can be searched, indicating that Macedonian Customs Administration, through the company” Navajo Technologies “, is trying to procure communications monitoring equipment from the company “Hacking Team”.
Information about electronic communication for the purchase of equipment made ten days ago comes at a time when the state is shaken by a political crisis that arose after the opposition revealed the “Wiretapping” scandal.
