The Centro de Investigación y Seguridad Nacional (CISEN; German : Center for Investigation and National Security ) is the civilian Mexican intelligence service . It reports directly to the Secretaría de Gobernación (SEGOB) and has had its current name since 1989.
Emergence
The history of the state organ goes back to 1918, when the then Mexican President General Venustiano Carranza founded the so-called "First Department" ( Spanish : "Sección Primera" ) to stabilize the state institutions in the SEGOB . The department's task was to identify political opponents and to spy out and prevent their intentions. In 1929, the intelligence department was renamed "Departamento Confidencial" (German: Confidential Department ) and subdivided into the area of "Political Reporting" and the administrative police "Policía Administrativa".
In 1938 the name was changed to “Oficina de Información Política” (German: Office for Political Information ) and in 1942 to “Departamento de Investigación Política y Social” (DIPS), accompanied by the expansion of the area of internal surveillance and a department " Second World War ", because at this point Mexico entered the war on the side of Germany's allied opponents.
In 1947 the secret police Dirección Federal de Seguridad (DFS; German: Federal Directorate for Security ) was founded in Mexico , which then carried out dirty warfare under the influence of the US American CIA against left-wing politicians and guerrillas in the 1960s and 1970s . as well as political corruption, human rights violations and cooperation with major criminals were alleged.
In 1967, the Department of Investigación Política y Social was reclassified and renamed to the General Directorate “Dirección General de Investigaciones Políticas y Sociales” (DGIPS). By merging the DGIPS and the DFS, the Mexican News Directorate was created in 1985 under the name “Dirección General de Investigación y Seguridad Nacional” (DGISN), which in 1989 was given the name CISEN today.
In 2002 the archives of DFS and DGIPS were opened.
