National Intelligence Secretariat (Secretaría Nacional de Inteligencia , SENAIN) was the principal intelligence agency of the Republic of Ecuador . The agency was created in September 2009. Directors include Rommy Vallejo, Francisco Jijón, Homero Arellano, Luis Yépez, Raúl Patiño (brother of Ricardo Patiño )[ 1] and Pablo Romero Quezada.
In June 2013, news and entertainment website BuzzFeed published documents that revealed SENAIN's domestic surveillance program using equipment purchased from two Israel-based companies, Elkat Security Engineering Ltd and UVision Air Ltd. SENAIN reportedly purchased the equipment via an intermediary named Gabriel Marcos Guecelevich.[ 2]
SENAIN was also involved in the Hacking Team scandal.[ 3]
Although Paul Manafort had not logged into the Ecuadoran embassy in London , SENAIN had records of his visits in 2015 and March 2016, which SENAIN had recorded him as "Paul Manaford [sic]", along with Russians.[ 4] Julian Assange , the founder of WikiLeaks , was using the embassy as a refuge at the time.[ 4] The account of an Assange-Manafort meeting was not corroborated by other news organisations.[ 5]
In March 2018, SENAIN was shut down by Ecuador's President, Lenín Moreno , who said closing the agency was necessary to “guarantee the security needs of the country”.[ 6]
