Direccion Nacional de Inteligencia Criminal


Direccion Nacional de Inteligencia Criminal it is an Argentine intelligence agency part of the National Intelligence System. It depends of the Secretaria de Seguridad Interior (Secretariat of Interior Security), which itself depends of the Ministry of Interior; the DNIC is not a division of the SIDE, which has its own Directorate of Interior Intelligence.

Creation

The Direccion Nacional de Inteligencia Criminal was initially created by the 1992 Interior Security Law 24.059 as Direccion Nacional de Inteligencia Interior .

In December of 2001, as the new Intelligence Reform Law 25.520 passed, the National Intelligence System was created, and Article 47/48 renamed the old DNII to its current name.

At the time of the writing of the 1992 Interior Security Law 24.059, the National Aeronautical Police was controlled by the Argentine Air Force, therefore, the handling of its information was done by military intelligence. In 2005, after the Southern Winds Narcobags Scandal, President Nestor Kirchner dissolved the PNA, and created a civil organism similar to the National Gendarmerie and the Naval Prefecture, the Airport Security Police . DNIC also handles intelligence from the mentioned organism that has inherited from the military-controlled PNA.

Function

Its mission, as detailed on Article 16 of the 1992 Interior Security Law 24.059, is to be a federal agency within the Ministry of Interior to strategically coordinate and direct the functions and operations of the intelligence services of the Federal Police, the National Gendarmerie, and the Naval Prefecture.
